This book is a victory over cruel and sadistic abuse. Where her abusers tried to implant self-hate, Jean restored love and compassion. She psychologically and spiritually saved the wounded children within herself and then wrote a book to rescue other survivors and their inner children.

This book brings up many emotions ranging from horror and grief to amazement, awe, and gratitude that she survived and flourished enough in her recovery to write this memoir.

This book is a wrenching, but necessary read for survivors of abuse, those working with survivors and those in power, especially in religious institutions, who may be still perpetuating such trauma.
