Description

In Susan Kuhnhausen's own words she was a piece of cake. She was middle aged, overweight, and had two bad knees.

But, what the intruder in her Oregon home in September of 2006 didn't know was that Susan was also trained in self defense.

This is the true story of not only how Susan Kuhnhausen fought off her attacker, but she also fought for the rights of others who were victims of violent crimes.
