Reader ReviewsThese ladies get to the facts in a gentle, move "foward" manner. Most in AA speak of the "Black Book" or Bible of AA. Well, this is the Black Book for CSA Survivors. Best of all, they do NOT exclude lesbian survivors with all the myths surrounding those issues. Nor, do the exclude male survivors. Tuff issues, tuff topics, tuff healing... Hence the word "survivor not victim". Excellent book for a gift or to get someone on the road to recovery.
