Twice I've found used copies of this out-of-print book and twice I've lent it to friends who were incest survivors that ended up keeping it (not that I minded) because they could relate so much to the contents and found it so helpful to their healing process. This book is an anthology of creative works by people who are or suspect they are incest survivors. It's intense and moving. If you can find a copy of this book, I'd highly recommend it.

I'd like to find out how to use my writing to heal this part of my life.

Presented as a "Resource for Further Reading" in both the 1992 and 1993 editions of Paperdolls: Healing from Sexual Abuse in Mormon Neighborhoods.

This is really heavy but was healing for me to see others stories and experiences shared through poetry and art.

Astounding, insightful, crushing, educational, beautiful and horrific.
