Title: EXTREMELY HELPFUL
Review: Needed this to deal with most intimate crisis in family. It answers ALL questions and you can learn as a survivor OR a family member of the survivor how to deal with such tragedy. I would love if EVERY therapist had this in their arsenal. And EVERY survivor. LIFE CAN GO ON. Yes, things will change BUT your life will move forward if you work at it. FAITH is everything (to me). It should be for ALL. FAITH in JESUS will lessen the pain and help move you forward and still achieve the dreams you had/have for yourself. This book is wonderful.

Review: I've been reading the book and found it to be very informative, answers questions I wondered about, gets real deep and u realize u weren't and aren't alone...I only wish my daughter would read it again.....She rushed thru it but felt I forced her to read it,,,I kinda did..She has been in therapy but chose to put it behind her and won't talk about it..One day she will and I think when she's ready she will pick up this book and start the healing process....Outstanding work! Thank u Cynthia for sharing ur experiences and helping the survivers of sexual abuse heal.

Title: Good info
Review: I find this book helpful in my prep for encouraging my clients. Seems to cover all aspects a person needs to consider. The authors are careful to keep language in line with subject. I realize how challenging it must be to avoid negative language and cursing in abuse testimonials. The authors allow for that yet keep it in the context of the person being interviewed. I will use this book for reference from now on and will recommend it for those who need to understand and help themselves or someone they care about.

Title: Pretty Good
Review: I bought this book for a struggling teen and decided to read it before sharing.The description of what constitutes sexual abuse is excellent. In fact, I was surprised to learn that some of the things that I had encountered as a kid were included as abuse. I knew these things, like sexual or body references, made me cringe but I never would have called them abuse. It was actually very validating to realize that my feelings were correct. That is one of the best things about this book--it clears away any denial, minimization, and doubt about abuse experiences. So much information on sexual abuse only contains the most extreme violent acts, which undermines the more ambiguous experiences people have. Sexual abuse can be so subtle that it makes a victim think they are crazy for feeling violated. This book makes it very clear that your personal instincts, gut feelings, are the indicator that matters most.There are two things that I wasn't thrilled about:First, since most children are abused by a person they are familiar with, I think that the internet dangers should have been moved to the end of the book. It was distracting to skim through that section, particularly after the definition of incest. Most kids know the perpetrators of abuse. It only makes sense to start there.Second, I respect the fact that women do molest kids. But it can't be denied that the vast majority of perps are men. The back-and-forth use of men/women, he/she, became tedious and distracting. I understand the author doesn't want to leave out victims of women molesters. But it was actually offensive to me that the female pronouns were distributed equally. Maybe that is just my own issue.

Title: Great to use for kids in therapy
Review: A therapist I know recommended this and I read the first couple of chapters but never got a chance to finish it. I recently did the book with a 10 year old client, and I loved it. It has easy to understand language with great examples and covers a lot.

Title: Addresses many of the tough questions...
Review: I read sections of this book aloud in my support group. The author does a great job of sharing the victims perspective, raising awareness and helping the victim feel 'normal' and safe to make decisions for their growth moving forward. Very good for anyone that has been a victim of sexual abuse learn to understand the process they might go through and to regain their sense of worth.

Title: awesome
Review: This gives enough info and storys, just enough to where you are not re-traumatized, but you feel like you were not really alone either. I am thankful to have picked up this book.
