Compassion and support are most needed. Thanks for an insightful read.

I sat guilty the first few lines. Do we judge the victim? I definitely have done that – and hate that I have. Your review does exactly what it was intended to do…cause one to pick up the book. xo

I so identify with these quotes. Rachael is so brave and has helped victims to gain more courage to come forward. Thank you for being such a compassionate advocate for the victims! Love and blessings to you!

Thank you for your insightful review. You said some words that need to be said, as did the author of this book. “If you’re abused, the blame falls on the abuser, not the abused.”

To blame the victim
is condemnation
to an eternal winter.

I know it would be hard to read, but I have heard good things about it. I was so impressed with what I saw of her testimony. We need to understand the perspective she brings so we can better empathize with those who have been abused and hopefully be more watchful for abuse of power and influence and prevent these kinds of things from happening.
