Leading you through a series of realisations - which in, any event, you can take
at your own pace - this work must be THE resource for those recovering from
abuse. It probably doesn't represent a useful source for those with an academic
interest as its real strength is in its effortless evocation of those dreaded,
dark emotions. One is tempted to say that only those who have suffered would
immediately recognise the scenes Sonkin describes. His advice is pitched at just
the right level and with just the right degree of encouragement - for even the
most cynical. It is sad to reflect that women have a plethora of such books to
refer to but us ruffy-tuffies have not. By remaining silent we will only
perpetuate the suffering we experienced. My sincerest regret is that this book
arrived too late for me to reconcile things with my father! Nevertheless, a real
gem.
