Reach for the Rainbow
My goal is to learn all I can about early childhood sexual abuse. My adult daughter is a survivor and starting her healing process. I bought Lynne's book to begin to learn about the trauma and horror of this type of abuse. The book is very well written, informative and a wonderful starting point in my attempt to understand my daughter's pain. I don't give the book five stars because I feel the author's unresolved personal issues with her own mother comes across too strong. For some reason I felt that she was putting all non-abusive mothers in the same boat with her mother and that's just not true. Many of us truly were not aware of the abuse. However, keeping in mind who this book is written for -- the Survivors of Sexual Abuse, it's a fabulous book and a valuable reference as you journey through recovery with your loved one.

satanic drivel at its worst
A relic of the Satanic Panic days of the early 1990's, this book should be consigned to a museum and NEVER read by anyone who doesn't understand that it is obsolete, out-moded, disproven and utterly bogus. If you do read it, pay special attention to the sections wherein the author discloses her lengthy mental health history. That explains the rest of the foolishness.

Definitely a great book.
This book is soooooo helpful! Whenever I have a question about my past or want to understand how I feel I resort to this book! It has to be one of my favorite books about surviving. It's very cleary written and easy to read. I'm not one that likes to read a lot of "psychological talk," so this was a great read for me! Similar Products
