A classic in the field

This was the first mainstream U.S. book to address the issue of incest. It's highly accessible but deeply disturbing, filled with tragic, individual stories of assaults, mostly by fathers and perpetrated upon daughters. Armstrong did her homework. I got to know her in New York in the late 70s through a mutual friend, and she was a warm, intelligent, and compassionate woman. I wish I could find her today to let her know how my own story has ended up. But anyway, read this book if you are a survivor who needs to know you're not alone, a perpetrator who is on the road to recovery (though there is never 100% recovery for them, and I would not trust one completely with anyone under the age of 16), or just someone interested in this field of criminal psychology from a layman's perspective.
