Vicky Reicks' son, Adam Samec, committed suicide in 2001 when he was 20 years old. After his death, she discovered, through his many writings and art pieces, that he'd taken his life because of the years of abuse he suffered silently through. Although Adam never clearly named his abuser, Vicky feels certain the local parish priest was the one who violated her son. Silent Anguish: The Adam Samec Story is a tribute to Adam and all that he suffered. It is the hope that his writings and art work will foster understanding for families who have been victims of clergy-perpetrated sexual abuse and bring awareness to this horrific crime. This book shows all artwork and photos as full color images. This description may be from another edition of this product.
