The book outlines the family dynamics of sexual abuse and one can understand the anguish a victim of incest is in when exposed to this kind of trauma. What really stood out to me was the dilemma that arises when there is no-one to turn to and the psychological harm that this causes. The long-term effects are devastating and I was encouraged by the human spirit's amazing ability to heal and help others also struggling with the ill of incest. In particular, the way we were made by God to protect our own being, despite the ongoing abuse, is again just testimony of our resilience as human beings. A must read for anyone who wants to understand the family dynamics surrounding incest.
