I Never Told Anyone is a deeply moving collection of first person accounts of child sexual abuse. Here are stories and poems written by women of all ages and circumstances of the abuse they suffered either as young girls or as teenagers. In these compelling and pignant "life refined" writings, we hear the long repressed voices of sexually abused children. We learn of their fear, anger, pain, and love, and of their struggles to come to terms with the silence that allowed such abuse. Writing with courage and honesty, these women tell of experiences ranging from the most subtle overtures to repeated abuse. Introduced by brief biographies that place each woman in a past and present context, these pieces reflect a wid diversity of experience and emotional responce and offer a powerful testament to all survivors of sexual abuse. - from Amzon
