Steven Donahue (1991) writes, "I published my first novel, "Amanda Rio" in October of 2004. The book examines the problem of domestic violence. The story is told from the point of view of the victim, Amanda Rio, a typical 30-year old married woman and mother of a 12-year-old girl. It explores how the violence she endures from her abusive husband affects everyone in her life. "Amanda Rio" is also a deep character study of a complicated woman who wants nothing more than a happy home life, yet her own destructive impulses threaten that dream.
