understanding of the issues and set directions for further
exploration. Many survivors, both male and female, will finally
have their experiences validated. The powerfully moving survivors'
stories will be vital tools for survivors in their healing and will
aid therapists in understanding the complexities of recovery from
sexual abuse by females. --Mike Lew, author of Victims No Longer:
