5.0 out of 5 stars
It made me cry all the way through it, great healing tears.,
By richmonds@mindsync.com (California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: I Can't Talk About It: A Child's Book About Sexual Abuse (Hurts of Childhood Series) (Hardcover)
I am not a survivor of incest, but of childhood sexual abuse, and yet this book was a source of great healing to me. I never told 35 years ago, but I feel this book would help any child to know that it's okay to tell. The illustrations were very beautiful and peaceful. The only thing in the book to draw a complaint from me was Dove telling Annie that she would eventually be able to forgive her father. I think that is something that should not be addressed, it is a personal choice that some of us may never arrive at, and puts an unfair burden on those of us who may never reach that point.

Great book, but forgiving the purpetrator is not required.,
By jenkaspar@aol.com (So. California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: I Can't Talk About It: A Child's Book About Sexual Abuse (Hurts of Childhood Series) (Hardcover)
Excellent book for survivors of incest - for both children and adults who are in the beginning stages of the healing process. Just being able to say "it" to someone who will believe, be supportive, and encourage healing is a major step for most victims/survivors. It was truely a blessing to share this book with my 5 year old Godchild, and to express my joy of her openess to trust and her courage to tell. Telling is one of the most difficult things to do. And many of us wait far too to long to begin the healing of these painful wounds. Just one part near the conclusion: The Dove tells Anne that someday she will be able to forgive her daddy for hurting her. Some of us will never forgive the purpetrator expecially when he and many others in the family still live in "da Nile"!! Forgivenesss of self and learning to love in a healthy relationship are much more benifiecial to survivors!!

A must for all children and parents to read.,
By Benny (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: I Can't Talk About It: A Child's Book About Sexual Abuse (Hurts of Childhood Series) (Hardcover)
This is must read for all children and parents. The pictures and content is outstanding. She is very senitive and in tune. I believe that all the "Childrens Series" written by Doris Sanford should be put back in print and placed in all the public librarys and teachers classrooms.
