A terrifying and heartening book . . . I know it's going to be passed urgently from hand to hand." —Andrew Vachss"With great courage and startling compassion, Silverman tells [her] story. . . . Harrowing in its depiction of savage violation and profoundly moving in its portrait of a child's fear, confusion, and desperate search for a safe place." —Kirkus Reviews"Silverman's lyric style transforms a ravaged childhood into a work of art. The book reads like a poem." —St. Petersburg Times"We highly recommend this book. . . . Silverman's prose is vivid, lively, graceful, and rich in metaphor, the labor of one who deply senses the rhythms of written language. . . . brutally honest writing."-Journal of College Student Psychotherapy "Silverman has a brave, piercing intelligence which transcends psychological explanations and does not require symbolism to convey a sense of what she went through. . . . She has learned exquisitely how to look at what she could not face and how to speak through those silences."-Fourth Genre "Extraordinary...written in perfect clarity. I applaud Silverman for her remarkable...journey back to a chance at a healthy future."- Kliatt, May 2000 "Her words scream the truth and her journey is real and powerful.
