The Hider's Story
by Jacqueline Gordon, 242 pages
Gayle writes: "Many thanks to Jacqueline for allowing us a preview copy of her book. This is a story of her recovery from years of sexual abuse at the hands of her father and how she found healing. Sometimes sad, sometimes frustrating, Jacqueline candidly looks at the beliefs of her family of origin and struggles against other's wishes for her to "forgive and forget" what happened. Along the way, she finds healing and urges us all to "choose the path of goodness" in our own lives. "
The Immaculate Perception: A Life's Journey... By Karon Aghotte-Rice
Gayle Writes:
"This is the novel I personally want to take with me if I ever get strangled on a deserted island. The book moves right along and will move you with it. You'll want to cry with the main character Sincerely Young. You'll want to laugh with her and enjoy life (and death) with her. It's not strictly a recovery book but it's excellent reading and handles women's issues well."
No Visible Scars by Alison Werth.For sample chapters click on her book title. It's a book of poetry every survivor should read. Solutions by Leslie Cameron Bandler A Survivor writes: "it is in part a transcript of how a rape victim was helped using mental coding technology. Interesting."

The Sexual Healing Journey by Wendy Maltz published by Harper Perennial (1991).

Gayle writes: "This is a book that no survivor should skip on reading. The information is very good, and helpful. Too bad there's not more books like this!! The print is a little small making the information hard to read sometimes but don't pass on it!"
