Diary of a Rape Victim: Breaking the Silence to Break Free
This is an excellent resource for any woman who has been through a sexual assault. The consequences of living in long term silence can be devastating to a woman and her family. Phillis comes to terms with her silence, anger and fears in this book. An excellent read.

Breaking the Silence
A very emotional and well-written journal of a young girl trying to come to terms with a violent rape at a tender age of seventeen. Godwin allows us to see behind the mask that she has hid behind for forty years and allows us to witness how the rape affects one both emotionally and physically. I recommend this book for anyone trying to understand the emotions and fears of acceptance after such a violent crime.

Breaking the Silence with Hope
This book is a black jewel. It is extremely stark in it's poetic and third-person description of a young woman's experience with rape. Not holding any information back, Godwin offers not a narrative, but a disturbing lyrical journey that she has made while attempting a recovery from the crises...and that is what makes this book so precious. It is raw emotion, written in many voices, daring the reader to enter deep into a horrifying situation. One is immediatly struck by the candor with which Godwin offers herself up to scrutiny within the pages. I read it in one sitting. I recommend this book for anyone seeking solace, or desiring a hard look into the consequences and recovery from a violent moment. Similar Products
