Reviewer: A reader from Surrey United Kingdom
This really is a fabulous book. It is not self help as such, but is more focused upon female survivors who are brave and wonderful in coming forward and sharing their trauma through such a creative and beautiful manner. Some of the stories in here are so sad and desperate, but for me that only helped to make me stronger. I look up to these women who were so courageous in coming forward and breaking all the taboos society sadly bestows upon us.

I think it is a read for anyone. I think if you read this book, you will then truly understand the hardships of being a victim of sexual abuse. It features famous stories such as why the caged bird sings, and also some famous writings by Billie Haliday. But more importantly, it contains writings from women who just survived, women who you probably wouldn't look twice at in the street. Women like you and me. True survivors at all extremes.

an unflinchingly honest, painful book, 4 November, 1997
Reviewer: jenvoice@erols.com
This is a book for those who have a deep awareness of the pain of sexual abuse as well as a strong belief in the value of creative therapies, including writing. Each woman's story is painfully honest and amazingly brave. This is a particularly good book for counselors to have on hand.
