5.0 out of 5 stars
Invaluable affirmation for survivors, education for others, December 3, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Breaking Ritual Silence: An Anthology of Ritual Abuse Survivors' Stories (Paperback)
The first anthology of its kind, this book brings together dozens of essays from ritual abuse survivors. It is an amazing representation of both the common themes and the specific emotions of ritual torture and the ways that women and men have managed to live through it. Survivors will find a reflection of their own experience, and those who know little or nothing about ritual abuse will hear a message that they will never forget. I am in awe of the courage behind and within this book.

A brave book, March 6, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Breaking Ritual Silence: An Anthology of Ritual Abuse Survivors' Stories (Paperback)
It is not so often that ritual abuse survivors are heard. In this book they are. They tell us about their lifes, the torture they had been subjected to, and their fight to survive. Everyone who want to know about this hidden holocaust should read this book. The editors and all those who writes here has done a great job.

Sorry, But I've Seen Too Many..., March 20, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Breaking Ritual Silence: An Anthology of Ritual Abuse Survivors' Stories (Paperback)
I have seen such overwhelming evidence to support the fact that almost all "ritual abuse" cases WERE indeed caused by mass hysteria and community pressure. So many individuals in these communities were forced not to appear "weak," and jumped on the neighborhood bandwagon to accuse, accuse, accuse. Nothing is more horrifying than the thought of our children being in peril...but that fear sadly caused a lot of irreversible damage to many innocent people's lives in these cases. From the Salem Witch trials to the Senator McCarthy insanity to this mess, it seems that every so often the civilized world goes mad. We can learn from it...but not by reading this wrongheaded book.
