Strong at the Heart

welcome
Let's get real about child sexual abuse. It hurts children and teens in profound ways. But people can heal—and go on to lead rich and interesting lives. The photos to the left are of people who survived everything from adolescent and childhood rape to incest, sexual assault and molestation. In healing, they found unexpected strengths. They've chosen to tell their stories and be photographed for my book, STRONG AT THE HEART, so that you can see how real teens and adults heal from sexual trauma.

At this site, you can read parts of the interviews and learn more about people in the book. You can read reviews, check out my blog, and find out where I'm speaking next. You can also discover good books, films and websites on resilience and recovery and order STRONG AT THE HEART.

If you need support, please go to get help now. To learn how to help a friend or loved one, go to others. Thanks for visiting my website. Let me know what you think!
