Good but some parts are very hard to take

My therapist recommended I read this book and it was helpful to me, but some of the stories break your heart, turn your stomach, or both. It is just incredible that children can be abused in so many ways. When you think of an innocent child coming into the world, so innocent and clean, and the trips that adults who should know and act better, impose on them, it make you know there is a Satan in the world, or that is how parts of this book made me feel. Some parts are incredibly shocking but the fact that these people have emerged to live their lives and be in a continual process of healing, is a triumph of their spirits, and to me the triumph of the ultimate spirit of good in the world, after all. An intense but compelling read, and one every abused child should read.
