Description
Praise for Luke and Ryan Hart's memoir:
'A powerful, searing account from incredible brothers and an important contribution to our understanding of domestic abuse' Victoria Derbyshire
'... a courageous account of domestic abuse and the devasting impact it has on families' Jeremy Corbyn MP
'Relevant and inspiring' Chris Green, White Ribbon UK
On 19 July 2016, Claire and Charlotte Hart were murdered, in broad daylight, by the family's father. He shot his wife and daughter with a sawn-off shotgun before committing suicide.
REMEMBERED FOREVER is the shocking story of what led to this terrible crime. Luke and Ryan Hart, the family's two surviving sons, lived under the terror of coercive control. Their father believed that his family members were simply possessions, never referring to them by their names ... just as Woman, Boy, Girl. Written by the boys, but laced with the voices of Claire and Charlotte, this gripping and moving account brings deeper understanding to the shocking crime of domestic abuse and homicide.
Luke and Ryan Hart have become spokespeople for the victims who are so often silenced but must never be forgotten.

Luke and Ryan Hart founded the Coercion and Control Awareness (CoCo Awareness), in memory of their mother and sister, and to raise awareness and speak out against male violence towards women and girls.
They both speak frequently at events and deliver training on coercive control, domestic abuse and resilience. So far, they have trained over 400 police officers, police community support officers and legal professionals in the Crown Prosecution Service. They are always looking for opportunities to share their story and challenge male violence against women and children in their role as White Ribbon Ambassadors and Refuge Champions.
