It‘s not as bad as it looks. Published in the 80s, this compilation of survivor poems and stories was focused on ending the silence and shame around CSA. These women wrote to heal and to reclaim their voices. As a CSA survivor who benefitted greatly from sharing my story and being open about my trauma, I found an unexpected bit of healing in being reminded how far society has come (though not far enough) and that I‘m not alone.
