Because I Love You: The Silent Shadow of Child Sexual Abuse
Joyce Allan
Confronted in midlife with a devastating discovery about her father’s secret life as a pedophile, Joyce Allan, a psychiatric nurse/therapist, traces the history of sexual abuse across five generations of her family. Providing unique insight into the value systems that perpetuate child sexual abuse within families, churches, and society, this memoir describes how silence itself creates the "ecology of sexual abuse." Compassionately and skillfully written, it is particularly useful for victims of sexual abuse, family and friends of a victim, or even the family and friends of the perpetrator.
