    <body><![CDATA[Healing doesn't happen all at once, and so absorbing all that needs to be absorbed from this book doesn't happen in one reading.  An excellent resource for those healing or helping others heal from sexual abuse.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Books like this are never helpful to any given subset of people, but I suppose it could be valuable to some.  Mainly, I found the information the same as the mainstream things you can find on the internet.]]></body>
