Summary: A powerful and moving account of survival and recovery.
Comment: This is one of the most painfully honest books you will ever read, on a subject that was once taboo but now is being talked about openly more and more. This is not only a harrowing account of the author's sexual abuse by her father for most of her childhood, but a penetrating psychological examination of how she was affected by it, how she was able to survive, and after long hard years of therapy, eventually to recover. It is also a book about how she was able through her writing to find ways of rebuilding a shattered self by acquiring the means of verbal expression that she had been denied as an abused child. The writing of the book, in a sense, becomes the final chapter of her recovery. Needless to say, this is not a pretty story, and I found some parts almost too painful to read, but it is finally a triumphant story that you will not easily forget

Summary: beautiful survival story
Comment: this well-written memoir can be difficult to read at times because it's so heart-wrenching, yet the author's helplessness makes you force yourself to continue reading. you want to protect her and give her hope to help her through.
i have had no personal experience with sexual abuse, yet i still connected to this book on both a personal and impersonal level. i couldn't put it down and finished it within 24 hours-- i even read it at work! i think it would be useful as therapy for anyone who is willing to face their own experiences of sexual abuse or emotional abandonment... but i think it is also useful for anyone who seeks insight into why sexual abuse continues to subsist undiscovered--- and the intense emotional harm it causes.
fyi there are two main parts to the book - WITH father, and WITHOUT. even after she moves away from her father, she continues to fight within herself for control of her own life. it is a constant struggle and she is continuously strengthening her hold on her own life.

Summary: learning
Comment: As far as Memoirs go I would have to say that this book, ranks up there as one of the best I have read. beautifully written. Well documented. Great Time Line. The author does an excellent job of pulling the reader in and making them understand what a child of abuse goes through. . This book is in the same type of genre as two other books I have read that I find to be equally as good. Nightmares Echo and Beauty For Ashes. Each is excellent in its own right. I have learned so much from this book.
