Good reading! A child cannot "tell" when a trusted adult (teacher, uncle, cousin, father) is molesting them. This book illustrates that so clearly and the tragic results are terrifying. The writer speaks to this, as well as sexual identification. She is not saying male molestation leads to Homosexuality. She treats both topics individually. We do need a way to help our chldren come forward when they have been touched, before it goes further. This is the first book I've read that clearly shows why they do not.<BR/><BR/>My sister has had this experience and I knew it was happening, but I could not tell either. Her life has been hell. She has blamed our parents for "not protecting her". But she and I were the ones that did not tell. This book illustrates some of the reasons we could not. READ IT, if you need to deal with this, or, especally if you want to empower your child to "tell".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
