Balance of Power by Richard North Patterson p. 21

"Joan's face was a study in confusion--by turns fearful, irresolute, resistant, and imploring. He searched within himself for the words to reach her and realized, against his bone-deep instinct to seal off the past, that they could not be the words of an observer."

It can be very hard to convince a person of something they don't want to hear, which is why Kerry Kilcannon decides to tell Joan, his fiancee's sister, why he truly understand what domestic abuse is.
