A Courageous Journey
Still Breathing is the perfect title for this book. As a fellow survivor of childhood sexual abuse, I know what it feels like to be shackled by the hurt and pain; to feel like I can't breathe. Joe's story is a welcomed addition to the child sexual abuse arena. We need more voices, especially from men of color. Joe tells his story in a thoughtful, intelligent, and mature manner; I think anyone can relate. I will refer others to his book in hopes they, too, will know what it means to still breathe after tragedy strikes. - D.J. Burr, psychotherapist and author of "I Just Wanted Love: Recovery of a Sex and Love Addict."
