I am an employment attorney who trains corporate america about harassment in the workplace. I found this book to be an excellent balance between the law and the emotion of sexual harassment. As I train managers and supervisors in my workshops, I intend to reference this work and use it to introduce the real pain and emotional cost of harassment. It will be an excellent training tool.

As a person who suffered sexual harassment in the workplace, but never knew about a "hostile work environment" and its emotional ramifications, I am very relieved to have found this book.

As someone experiencing harassment, I've read everything I could get my hands on. And this book was the only one I've found that addressed my feelings and what I'm actually going through. It's amazing how my situation seems so much like the authors. While its an awful experience, at least I know now that I'm not the only one its happened to.

This book really helped me to identify and deal with a terribly confusing ordeal. I am really happy someone told me about this book and it was available to help me.

It's hard to believe that sexual harassment is a reality in today's workplace. Unfortunately it is and this book is truly insightful and provides a needed safety net of information for those dealing with this difficult subject. Definitely the best I've seen on this subject.

Thank God this book was written! Unfortunately due to confidentiality clauses victims are made to sign, others dealing with similar problems on the job do not have the benefit of their experiences. Thanks to Ms. O'shea and Ms. LaLonde for having the courage to explore this difficult subject.

Having "been there and done that" this book validated all the emotions and choices I made as the victim of sexual harassment. It really tells it like it is. I highly recommend it to anyone who truly wants to understand the ramifications of sexual harassment.

Understanding the sensitivities surrounding the subject of the book, I realize it may seem rather obtuse to "enjoy" reading it.

However, this book is not just about condolence. Rather, it gives us the realization of the prevalent societal truth. Also, the book is not just a mere reference, but true stories based on authors' own experiences.

Authors sketched the very contours of real life in our society, but it's a finely tuned portrait, with deep perspective and understanding, rather than a mere description.

The book is well written and unapologetic in its frankness.....most readers, whether it'd be a man or a woman, should find some relatedness to this book.

This book was wonderfully written and deals with the highly-sensitive issue of sexual harassment on the job. I believe this balanced portrayal of the subject will explain many of the nuances of this issue to victims, HR professionals, psychologists and legal professionals alike. I don't think you will be disappointed by the contents of this book.

As a practicing attorney, when a potential client calls me about a sexual harassment problem on the job, I am recommending that they read this book. I believe this book gives them a good overview of the process from a legal and psychological perspective. It is a balanced, unbiased view of this terribly draining ordeal. I highly recommend this book.
