I am so impressed with the openness and honesty of Larry Franklin and his healing. It is not easy to confront sexual abuse from childhood, but he has done an excellent job of recovery from horrific abuse. He helps us get in touch with our inner child and begin healing. Sharing his experiences and feelings helps him and readers alike. Talking about the abuse is a major healing step. The fact that the author wrote the book as a novel makes it easier for people to relate to. His style of writing is very easy to read and understand. Sometimes it helps to distance oneself from the trauma of abuse. Thank you for sharing your recovery and helping us in our own recovery. This is an excellent book and I recommend it to everyone, as about 1 in 4 children are sexually abused in America. There are 12 Step programs for people who have been abused in childhood. Breaking the conspiracy of silence can create backlash, but believe me, it is worth it!
