Readers’ Comments:
“There were many parts to this book I liked. Firstly, the author not only looks at her own past, but she also looks at ways to help victims. Secondly, it´s so clearly written, no fluff; simply gets on with it.” Male reader, aged 50
“A very difficult subject, but the author´s honesty is so apparent on every page, I soon got relaxed and focused on understanding and learning from her very personal journey.” Female reader, aged 41
“Sensitively written and not all doom and gloom as the author attempts to focus not only on what happened to her but also on finding light at the end of the tunnel. There´s a lot of empathy in this story which I suspect many sufferers of abuse will relate to.” Male reader, aged 59
To Sum It Up:
‘A thought-provoking account of sexual abuse and how to find light at the end of the tunnel. A FINALIST and highly recommended!’
