Summary: honest account
Review: I know this is a true story, but it was so boring. The author was beating around the bush in telling the story. The reader just had to really assume what the father was doing to her. I was so frustrated with the book that I never even finished it. When I'm reading I want the whole story; do not beat around the bush with me. I tried very hard to stay focused. I read two long chapters and I couldn't take it anymore. Sorry, but it didn't keep my attention.Later...

Review: I recieved my copy today , and finished my copy today. This beautifully written book tells of one individual's horrific experience of incest throughout her childhood. It gives the reader a deep insight into the effects of incest and one woman's fight to to understand and know her true self. Although disturbing , there is an overiding message of hope once you have finished this book. Sue William Silverman is truly an inspiration.

Summary: A Must-Read!
Review: One woman's anguish, confusion, destruction endured during and the pain, struggle, truths and triumph of recovery from child sexual abuse. The language is almost overwhelming. At last a book that captures the reality of the violence and humiliation that child sexual abusers use to torment and try to silence their victims. And the triumph of one victim cutting through the shame and finding her voice for outrage. A must-read

Summary: From victim to victor-a compelling story ...
Review: Silverman speaks out on the abuse suffered as a child and as a child that came from a highly regarded family. Her story telling is excellent and even the abuse is told from the view of pain rather than pity. Not only will you hear the true story of sexual abuse but the fight for a peaceful life and inner search that moved Silverman from a victim to victor. Having volunteered and worked with many young abuse victims from child to adolescent, her story was sad but also inspiring. Many victims grow to blame the world for the pain ensued upon them. They allow the abuse to wreck havoc with all interpersonal relationships. Silverman confronts her abuse, her abuser and moves on to the path of strength and wellness. She shows courage and fortitude in her search for inner peace. Having read many titles on this subject, I have found this to be the most inspiring and sound. Many others are written from the one-sided victim role and this title finds the balance and answers the questions; What am I going to do about it? What can I do to get better? How can I help myself and help others? Be warned you will read some acts of abuse that will make you cringe and perhaps put the book down to reflect. An adult title for anyone who has experienced abuse or is associated with an abuse survivor or works with abuse survivors.

Summary: Harrowing journey
Review: Sue Silverman has guts. As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse myself, I have nothing but admiration for her willingness to confront her past; believe me, I know how hard that is. Silverman is an excellent, evocative writer who will take you to a place where you don't want to go, but from which you will emerge a more understanding and empathetic person. Many thanks to Sue for telling not only her story, but to some extent, mine, too.

Summary: Most exquesite writing about a most horrific topic
Review: Sue Silverman's award-winning book is truly a work of art. The language is simple and powerful, like perfect poetry. Her story is personal, but as more and more similar stories of childhood sexual abuse are revealed, this book has a universal tone that is frightening because of its ordinariness. I could only read a few pages as a time, but I literally couldn't put it down and, after devoted the better part of two days to the effort, allowed myself to be moved to tears by the story and by the fine writing.

Summary: One of the best books I have ever read
Review: This book made my cry and cry. Just when you thought no more awful things could envoke this poor helpless child more did. The one thing that enrages me is how could a father do this do his child? The horror. Then try to blame it on being molested by his mother and 2 aunts. Yes that would bring up thing. A victim does NOT have to go and become a predator. I find this book enthralling and extremely hard to put it down. One of the best books that i have ever read. Very very well written. I congratulate Silverman on being able to overcome her past and to make HER a better person. God luck on your future Silverman.

Summary: honest account
Review: This is an excellent book, very honest account of the pain and turmoil a child must endure while living with abuse...any abuse. It is all unfortunate no matter what type of abuse it is. There are several other books that come to mind that shares the same impact as that of "Because I Remember Terror", those are Nightmares Echo","The Kid: A True Story",and "Sickened".

Summary: IMPOSSIBLE TO READ WITHOUT SHEDDING A TEAR!
Review: This is not an easy book to read, and you may often find yourself having to put the book down once in awhile simply to get away from the horror and reality of child abuse. Silverman is more than a survivor, she is an inspiration to victims who have experienced the savage, psychological, and inhuman terrors of child abuse. In Silverman's case, it tears the reader's heart to the very core to read of the abuse suffered at the hands of the one person who should have provided love and protection - her own father. What goes on behind the closed doors of a prominent, respected family will validate that child abuse knows no barriers or limitations when it comes to social standing. Silverman takes the reader through a nightmarish journey which will make the staunchest of characters break down and weap, not only for Silverman but for all the other innocent children whose childhood is being stolen from them at the hands of an abuser. The scars of child abuse remain forever, but through Silverman's story, she shows a light at the end of the tunnel, and an inner personal strength in reaching out to others that can only truly be understood by someone who has walked in her shoes.
