Note: Due to the subject matter of this book please be aware this might be a trigger for some folks. I received a paperback copy of this book from the author via the book tour company in return for an honest review. This did not affect my review in any way.
I personally have never experienced sexual abuse, but I know of friends who have. I am a licensed social worker and work with children. Unfortunately, this is an every day topic that social workers and at risk children face in my line of work. In reality, it's a very real abuse that occurs for boys and girls and at differing ages by different or known perpetrators. This book gives great insight to help victims to heal and find some peace. It gives building blocks for 30 days to help them focus and start the process within that time period with tangible suggestions, goals, and tips. The inspiring quotes can help empower in what I can imagine is a lifetime process. What adds more credence to the book is the author herself is a survivor.
