Child abuse is perhaps the darkest secret of the human condition. Scarring its survivors for life, it is a crime that is only now receiving the attention it deserves. As the survivors of childhood abuse speak up and reclaim their lives, author Patti Sherlock offers a sensitive companion to those setting off on a healing journey in this volume of spiritual reflections. Each reflection focuses on an issue facing adults who were abused physically, mentally, verbally or sexually as children. This courageous book will be helpful to survivors of childhood abuse and to those who seek to help and understand them.
