Reading and rereading Judy Emerson's book is a healing experience. Her courage in sharing her story inspires me to face my own pain and shame and do whatever it takes to heal and grow. She helps me see myself in a more empathetic way. This book gives me hope. Of all the books I've read on sexual abuse, this is the one I would most highly recommend.

i have read several sexual abuse titles and this is one of the best i have come across...i had to search and search till i found a copy...i am glad i did not give up. this book validated feelings i was experiencing that no other book had and for that i am grateful. if you are an abuse survivor and have the chance to read this title it will be worth your time.

The author (Judy) has already provided enough information that a review is almost unnecessary. I myself have never suffered from sexual abuse. I would have an interest in the book because I knew the author as a teenager. Only many years later would I learn what was happening during the time I knew her.

It is a mystery to me why some people will seek answers to their suffering, while others will go to their grave never looking - always suppressing it in a multitude of self destructive ways. Judy is one such person who would look for answers. This is not a self-help book. However, reading Judy's journey could lead others to look for meaningful answers for this type of childhood trauma. One thing not fully expressed by the author's own review is the spiritual side of Judy's nature, which is expressed throughout the book.

Don`t let the out-of-print status deter you. All but the most rare book can be found on Amazon's used book network.
