Summary: Wonderful, honest, challenging
Comment: This is a simple book, with a simple premise and wonderful illustrations. It written in the clear and honest prose for which Vachss is so well known. It also hits home with every story. If you want to know what honor, courage, and love look like, this is your book. Most books, I lend; this one, I buy multiple copies and give them away, over and over again.

Summary: Every parent should read...
Comment: Every person who ever wants to have children of their own by blood, or the more saintly act of adopting those children who need the love of someone who cares... needs to read this book. I have given a copy to everyone I know who has ever had children, including my Mother.
Having met Mr. Vachss and told him my acts of spreading his insights, wisdom, and warnings, he was delightfully pleased at my efforts.
Every word in this book is placed perfectly. Not a phrase can be misconstrued. In its execution of prose, there is none in literature refined more to an essence of purpose than in these 64 pages. Each vignette is more poignant than the last.
The artwork is extremely appropriate and offers enough to attract you, draw you in , and keep you connected to each story or lesson. Each artistic compliment has a specific merit to the story they accompany. Pay special attention to the "artistic focus effects" from Geof Darrow (Pgs 26-43). They are a masterpiece than should be studied.
My personal favorites in thew collection of prose and pencil/pen are pgs 8-10, and 48-51. One speaks on the philospohical scale of children as a future and past; and the other is far more personal to the author and reader. Both will leave the interested reader with a great deal of introspection. But the lessons learned within will affect how the reader thinks and acts around children. Those they know and love, and those they will never know, and never suspect, are hurting.

Summary: Lyrical and moving
Comment: This book is a beautiful set of stories and essays about how to protect children from abuse. Given the subject matter, it would be easy to pass this book by. It's easy to hold the preconception that there is nothing more that can be said about child abuse, or that there is nothing we can do to stand against it.
Nothing can be further from the truth, and Mr. Vachss proves it with prose so clean and direct that it reads like the sparest poetry. I've read this book with my own children, and it has given them an understanding and sympathy that will serve them well all their days. DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS BOOK!
