4.0 out of 5 stars Victims' vignettes, June 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Alone and Forgotten : The Sexually Abused Man (Paperback)

This is a collection of frank accounts about our male counterparts, who are embroiled in unfortunate sexual turmoils. Encompassing men of various assorted professions, the author paints vivid vignettes of how the victims' pains and torments, and most importantly, how they brave through the scars and persist to live on.

Touching, sad and at times, inspiring. This is a rare book about a somewhat taboo social issue.
