wikipedia
June 5, 2006
Last night I heard from a writer in the UK who just put up a Wikipedia entry referencing Strong at the Heart and linking to this site. Thank you, Tony!
His Wikipidia entry is an excellent descriptive overview of literature–mostly in English–that deals in one way or another with the sexual abuse of boys. Links take you to fuller descriptions and bibliographic information. [Be aware, this article has changed many times and may not represent Tony's work anymore. 6/10/06]
The entry also has an extensive literature list with a broader scope, including the sexual abuse of girls, as well as films and nonfiction. There are excellent books on the list. Many were published for teens; no distinction is made between them and books written for adults. [Pro-pedophilia people have altered this article considerably. If you go to it, you may want to look under "history" and go to Tony Sandel's versions. 6/10/06]
On a personal note, I’ve been holed up some, taking care of family matters (the house desperately needs new gutters and painting). I’ll be speaking at the Authors in the Afternoon series on June 17th at the main library in Eureka, California. There I’ll show some of the photos from the making of Strong at the Heart and talk about the back story of the book. I’m looking forward to this informal book discussion event with Humboldt County readers.

Hey, Carolyn! Thanks for the Wikipedia link. That’s a lot of info! On my very long list of updates to my dot com site is adding more info helpful to male survivors, so I appreciate the info on abuse of boys. I’ve been a bit holed up with family matters myself lately. Not in a position to start a non-profit right now with my son’s therapy schedule. HOWEVER, I’ve just been introduced to the world of blog carnivals and I’m going to organize one on child abuse and probably child sexual abuse in particular. Do you have a post you might want to link to such a carnival? I’d be honored if you’d participate.
