Very Truthful
I read this book with great sadness and hope. Almost all of what is described in this book has happened to me over a period of 18 years. I no longer felt quite so alone. It was a very difficult book to read, but it helped me educate psychology students in a nearby college about ritual abuse and MPD, which I was diagnosed with over a decade ago. Anyone who is a skeptic of ritual abuse should read this book. Ms. Smith starts with a reasonable arguement based with facts that ritual abuse does indeed exist. I also applaud the fact that this book was published in a cover that appeared non-threatening. (It's in soft pastel colors, unlike the red, black and white colors of the covers of some other books on ritual abuse.) Thank you Ms. Smith for your sensitivity and frankness. I hope this book will be on the published list once again.

One of the best books about ritual abuse
There are many books today about ritual abuse. Some of them are wrtten by armchair sceptics, who, in spite of all evidence to the contrary, dismiss the whole subject as a "modern myth". Others are written by professionals who believe in the existence of ritual abuse but indeed write from a very distanced and academic point of view. This kind of books can of course be quite useful for researchers. But I think that the best boks about ritual abuse is written by survivors. This is one of these books. It is well written and pedagogic. I think it is a great recource for survivors, and to those who want to support them.

A very honest and hard look at the affects of ritual abuse.
Unfortunatly this book told me about me. I hope people will read it and try to help the innocent victims of this terrible crime. I admire Margaret Smith's courage and strength to write this book in order to educate and help people know and understand, and that there is hope for survival. Similar Products
