Excellent Resource
I am Victim's Advocate at a domestic violence and sexual assault crisis center, and I am also a survivor of sexual assault. I read this book as part of my training in 1994, and I use it frequently to help my clients. When I read the book, it seemed that the author was writing about me! It made me understand many feelings I had as a child, teenager, and adult, and it made me feel more "normal".

It has helped so many of my clients to work through their feelings as victims and to help them become survivors. The simple language and order of the chapters allows them to start anywhere in the book, put the book down for a while to process their feelings, and pick it back up when they are ready to continue. I order several copies of this book every year so I can let clients take a copy of the book home with them. This allows them to move at their own speed. Sometimes we read the book together in counseling if their feelings are too overwhelming to process by themselves. I highly recommend this book.

recovering from rape
this book is an excellent resource. it covers every aspect of post-rape healing and decisions. i highly recommend it to any rape survivor or a loved one of a survivor.

Very helpful
I found this book to be very helpful, both for me as a person recovering, and as I work with people who are recovering.
