"Survivng Babylon" is a compelling documentation of betrayal, survival, and the beautiful evolution of a soul. It is a page turner that fuels the reader with an enormous sense of hope and empowerment. "Surviving Babylon" is truly a must read not only for abuse survivors, but also for those who want to understand the survivor.

I struggled to read this book because I knew what was going to happen on the next page. This led to my own exploration of childhood memories and found out why I knew what was going to happen. This book changed my life.

I had a hard time putting this book down and had to finish it quickly because I was so drawn into the story. I highly recommend this book to any survivor, family member or friend. It gives an amazing understanding of what she went through and what it takes to start healing. Definitely a good read!

"Surviving Babylon" gave me the courage to try EMDR and it worked! I have the freedom to live my life now and it is wonderful.

"Surviving Babylon" changed, and very possibly saved my life. The story of this courageous woman gave me the impetus to face my own demons. Now, after therapy and EMDR, I have been released from the prison of my shame that I had been in all my life, to finally start living.

This is a great book, a great read for anyone! It's well written and the journal entries are so interesting too. Such an inspiring story of a strong and courageous woman's horrific journey, all the twists and turns and new discoveries everyday through therapy and EMDR. (Because of this book I considered going to counseling and having EMDR to help with my trauma)

I've learned quite afew things from this book, thank you and well done Lexa!

This book is powerful and inspiring. You'll have one of two reactions; either you won't be able to put it down or you'll be so disturbed by what this child went through, you'll have to put it down and break from it. The fact that she made it out of her teenage years alive is a miracle in itself, but for her to have become the incredible mother, sister, friend and person that she has, is an affirmation of what we are capable of when we set are minds to it. She is an inspiration to anyone who has suffered abuse.

This was an amazing book that will benefit victims of all abuse and the people who care for them. The author connects with the reader through candid and descriptive writing. The message the book delivers is great; How difficult the healing process is but how a person can become stronger through it!

I highly recommend "Surviving Babylon." Once I started reading I could not put it down--this book really spoke to me. I would wake up early each morning, because I was so anxious to read more.

This book gave me the courage and strength to move forward with my life and the willingness to break the cycle that has been passed from generation to generation. Courage to share with my family that there are solutions to all the unanswered questions.
