Summary: I wasn't alone
Comment: I read this book several years ago when I first went into therapy to come to grips with my own molestation. What I learned from this book was valuable for me, because as the title says "I hadn't told anyone". I learned was that the range of emotions that I was experiencing was normal for a survivor. Once I realized what was going on, I felt like I could take the next step in my healing process. If you or someone you know is trying to make sense of their own feelings and has never talked with other survivors, I recommend this book.

Summary: I Never Told Anyone
Comment: This is a compilation of short stories by women who were sexually abused as children. The book is divided into sections: abuse by fathers, relatives, friends/acquaintances, and strangers. As a survivor of abuse by multiple offenders I was interested in this book, since it covers the various types of relationships I was abused within during my childhood. However, the stories can be extremely triggering, and you should only read the book if you feel ready to read graphic accounts of sexual abuse. My heart reached out to these women. It was amazing to read about all these different women and the experiences they have had. This is a very important and empowering book on child sexual abuse. I highly recommend this book if you choose to work in the field of child abuse/domestic violence/sexual assault. This book will help prepare you for some of the abuse you may be helping people to heal from. This book also shows the ways in which children keep sexual abuse a secret. As I was reading I felt so sad that children are not able to tell about sexual abuse. I never told either. I was abused by a succession of men, beginning in my early childhood, until the age of ten. I also continued to be sexually assaulted repeatedly by different people from age eleven to age twenty, until I finally realized that I could get help, and that sexual assault was not supposed to be a continual aspect of life. Education is very important, and it must continue until people are able to face the past, to tell, to heal, and to join in providing help and education about sexual abuse if they feel inclined to do so. This book is a beginning step in the education of sexual abuse. Another book which describes individual experiences of women's sexuality and consequently sexual abuse is 'Aphrodite's Daughters: Women's Sexual Stories and the Journey of the Soul' by Jalaja Bonheim. I have also read many other books on sexual abuse (see my reviews and listmania).

Summary: Inspiring stories of courage and growth
Comment: I found this book a wonderful resource for my work with survivors. Not only did it give me insight into their pain, trauma, and feelings, but it also gave the survivors support. I often shared this book with survivors who were so moved that there were others out there who had experienced similar events and had the courage to write about it. Many survivors I worked with and shared this book with were grateful for the opportunity to hear others' stories and inspired to summon their own power to heal themselves. If you are looking for therapeutic techniques, research, or anything else, this is not the book for you - it is strictly stories of survivors who are brave enough to finally tell.
