From Silence to Stories Emily Getzfreid

From Silence to Stories offers a uniquely readable and engaging perspective on how we as a society can stand strong against the silent epidemic of child sexual abuse. For the female sexual abuse survivor, the author offers hope for healing and restoration by examining common myths and emotional deception that survivors are prone to believe as a result of their abuse experience. For the reader who has never experienced sexual abuse, From Silence to Stories provides insight into the heart and mind of the survivor, enabling them to love the survivors in their lives with grace and understanding. The author also explains the common mindsets about sexual abuse that allow cycles of abuse to continue from generation to generation, and offers insight and encouragement about how to break those cycles in our families. At just 120 pages, From Silence to Stories is short enough to read quickly - a necessity, considering the difficult topic - yet powerful enough to open the reader's heart and mind to the simple actions we can take to change our world.
