One and a while a book will come along that will change the perception you have for yourself. In this case, my own case, a child of sexual abuse-I was fortunate enough to find several books that have helped me to understand,learn and grow past the abuse. Those books are: "Breaking Free: Help for Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse", "Nightmares Echo" and "Courage To Heal".
If you want your life to change, even if you have not been abused but suspect of someone that may have been-It's time to read these books!

Many books on this difficult subject are considerably depressing (as the subject is) but often, instead of helping one out of doom & gloom, could almost spiral them downwards. This very easy-to-read book not only explains, but guides, and focuses on the positives. The life after!!! In fact, it is super-positive in explaining and exploring and gives more than hope, it gives a good grip on reality about how positive change can come about. Enhance your life and understand it, don't see yourself as a victim, grab this book.

After reading many books on child sexual abuse, its effects and how to cope with them, this one is the best. People have shared their stories very frankly and movingly with the ethos being on realistic positive progress. The authors are very careful to advise on support for the readers whilst using this book, as it raises questions on responsibility, why children were not protected, abusing mothers etc. These can be very upsetting. At last someone is showing an understanding of the feelings and thoughts involved in these very difficult problems and not just churning out text book material. Also the writers are from the UK, which helps, as there are plenty of books from the USA which I cannot relate to.
