Rating:
Summary: Personal account of a rape's effect over decades
Review: Easy reading. Raped while in christian ministry in rough neighborhood out with but temporarily separated from a co-worker. No mention or views on other types of abuse yet reflects integration over time, effects on her marriage. Thought useful for survivors who have gone through individual counsel.

Summary: I AM NOT ALONE
Review: I LIKED THIS BOOK BECAUSE AFTER READING IT I FELT THAT I WAS NOT ALONE AND WHAT I AM FEELING IS NORMAL. IT TOOK READING THIS BOOK TO UNDERSTAND THAT. IT MADE ME SEE THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT HAS THOUGHT THE SAME THINGS I HAVE. I AM NOT ALONE.

Rating:
Summary: Very helpful
Review: The author's candor about her experiences was very helpful. Her story helped me realize that I was not alone with the after-feelings of my assualt and that there was hope for recovery. "Hope" was something I had not felt from the time of my assault until I read the book. It was immensely helpful to hear from someone who has "been there." Even well-meaning therapists don't always understand what its like the way someone who has walked in your shoes can. This book was that for me.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: This book was great and is helping me. As a Christian woman, I am currently going through something similar to what Kay went through regarding how I feel about God. I also wonder why I don't feel comfort from reading the Bible. Both of these issues are addressed, along with how we victims are treated within the Church. Reading the verdict made me cry -- it was very similar to mine -- but that was very therapeutic. I read it in one day and it comes highly recommended.
