Book excerpt: He takes off my clothes and leads me to the only bedroom in our small trailer. He makes me lay on the bed while he undresses, all the while staring at my young nude body. I begin my mental escape. I’m in a vast field of tall grass where the air is fresh and clean and doesn’t smell like beer and cigarettes. The sky is a deep blue. I breathe deeply and begin to run. So free! But I can never make it last. Due to the nature of the forms of abuse discussed in this book, and the frank manner in which they are portrayed, eLectio Publishing DOES NOT recommend this book for readers under the age of 18.

Book excerpt: Mother-Daughter Sexual Abuse MDSA The ultimate betrayal of a child's trust. The taboo subject led by society's denial that abuse of this nature even occurs. Wilma survived 16 years of her mother Hellen's brutal, emotional, physical, and sexual abuse-including acts of torture. Manipulated, controlled, and violated from her earliest memories, Wilma despaired from the constant hunger, sexual abuse, violent beatings, and strip searches. She feared suicide was her only option. The stigma and shame of the abuse silenced Wilma for years. As Wilma found the courage to speak her unspeakable secret-she was relieved by the support she received, after years of being convinced no one would believe her. MacLiver wrote her powerful, true story in this inspiring book from a daughter-survivor's point of view. Life Behind the Masks is a must-read to witness her miracle healing from the worst kind of sexual abuse- an unforgettable memoir

This book was released on 2019-11-25 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the UK today, it is estimated that nearly one in twenty children are subjected to sexual abuse, with the overwhelming majority being abused within the family environment. However, despite its prevalence, intrafamilial child sexual abuse remains largely shrouded in silence, shame and stigma. Taking a phenomenological approach, this book presents ten retrospective first-person accounts from adult victims and survivors, exploring the impact of such abuse throughout the life course. These stories illustrate how child sexual abuse can cause trauma affecting almost every aspect of life: emotionally, psychologically, interpersonally, behaviourally and cognitively. However, they also demonstrate the remarkable resilience of the human spirit; of how adverse experiences can be lived with, processed, and assimilated. These accounts address a gap in what academics, practitioners and policy makers know about child sexual abuse; give victims and survivors a voice; and open up a conversation about one of the most enduring societal and cultural problems.

Book excerpt: The Monster's Game takes you on an emotional and heartbreaking, yet powerful journey from the author's early childhood where she had been sexually abused, to almost 50 years later to the mother, grandmother, wife, sister, daughter and friend who still struggles with the effects of that abuse.

Littlegirl413 emerges as strong and triumphant as she delivers punch by punch blows to her abusers and those who turn a blind eye. This book should be an awakening to people everywhere about the devastation caused by child sexual abuse. It is a call to action as it screams for the child to be heard and validated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Domestic violence is an issue that affects so many; however, when I was introduced to it, there were not many people walking around telling their stories. There were no support groups or centers that offered assistance or educated me about the warning signs. Behind the Mask: A Survivor's Story takes you on a journey of my life. Walk with me through the pages as we share tears of hurt and pain, and finally, the tears of joy that I felt when I removed the mask. Many people look at me now and can't believe that I suffered from low self-esteem or that I was in the streets at thirteen years old, engaging in grown-up activities. Many can't believe that I self-medicated with alcohol and drugs. However, the most amazing thing is that I was beaten with a baseball bat, inches from losing my life. But God had a plan. He saved my life, and I am here today to tell you that you can triumph. I stopped being a victim, and now I am walking in victory. 53

This book was released on 2019-05-20 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to Kill Your Batman uses the character Batman to help heal male survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Using material from his previous award-winning self-help book, Heroes, Villains, and Healing: A Guide for Male Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse Using D.C. Comic Superheroes and Villains, author Kenneth Rogers Jr. this time focuses on the character Batman, to help male survivors understand the pitfalls of hypervigilance after being sexually abused. The trauma of childhood sexual abuse is related to the childhood trauma in Batman’s story, when a young Bruce Wayne witnesses the death of his parents. In the first part of the book, the author explores the term “Boy Code” and the societal norms of being a “real” man. In part two, the harms of hypervigilance are explained, using Batman and the development of cognitive distortions by male survivors as a result of being sexually abused. Part three helps survivors understand how to “kill their Batman,” allowing them to explore the need for intimacy and healing rather than hypervigilance. Throughout each part, Kenneth includes autobiographical stories of his own struggles with hypervigilance as a sexual abuse survivor striving to heal, grow, and become a “good” man rather than a “real” man.
