Strong at the Broken Places: Overcoming the Trauma of Child Abuse

"This is a fantastic book both for survivors and professionals. Packed full of excellent case studies. Full of hope, and a real true sense that you are not alone and you can get through this. The emphasis is really on being a survivor rather than a victim. I understand my past better for reading it, and would whole-heartedly reccommend it to everyone who has lived through abuse as a child."

"I have read many books on this subject (like alot of survivors I imagine!) and this is the only book I have found which challenges the widely held belief that survivors are forever damaged. Sanford highlights strengths that survivors have, as well as showing areas to draw strength from. Often when I read books about sexual abuse I find myself despairing about how I will ever be able to move on - this book made me feel that it would be possible.

An excellent book."
