As a woman healing from sexual abuse I found this book to be a very helpful resource. The information in this book answered many of the questions that I had and "normalized" many of my feelings. The case studies and letters from other women gave insight and hope that the healing from this trauma is indeed possible. This book is different from others I have read and it is one I would highly recommend. I hope to find more works by this author to continue my healing.

This is the best book for women suffering from childhood sexual abuse. It gives women what most other books about sexual abuse are missing, HOPE. I would recommend this book to all women of childhood sexual abuse.

The author has written an excellent book on childhood sexual abuse. The author provides excellent information on the fact that not all survivors experience the same feelings of trauma and shame. It is not victim-blaming but clearly shows that many survivors resist being labelled "victim." One of the best parts is the section on finding a suitable therapist. It is supportive and by using case studies shows that when the survivor is ready regardless of age, they can heal from their past. The author is empathetic to women survivors and provides a variety of tehchniques survivors can use on their journey to healing.

This was a pretty good book, although it gets a bit repetitive. It's definately not a GREAT book, and not worth the price. I would pay about $15 for this book at the most.
