Paperdolls: Healing from Sexual Abuse in Mormon Neighborhoods

Rating:
Summary: A good book on how one woman handled her sexual abuse.
Review: A rather graphic book on a woman's childhood abuse and it's affect on her and her siblings. She shows how she handled it through therapy and confronting her family abusers. As compared to other books, such as Courage To Heal, it recognizes another route for recovery other than prosecuting and sending the perpetrator to prison. My own impression of this book is that Mormons don't put much effort in seriously persuing child abusers and the author found her own way of stopping the cycle of abuse in her family.
