Critic Reviews

"Subject which needs wider public attention. Sibling sexual abuse is the most common form of intra-familial child sexual abuse, at least 3x more common than parent/child incest. Yet it's rarely talked about in society or reported by the media. Charting the author's experience of sibling sexual abuse over many years, her disclosure in adulthood and her journey towards healing and recovery, this powerfully written book should be essential reading for all social workers, counsellors and mental health specialists as well as anyone personally affected by this issue. Gritty, truthful and ultimately uplifting and redemptive - an outstanding work that deserves a wide audience." (Stuart Allardyce, Director, Stop It Now! UK and Ireland, | Lucy Faithfull Foundation UK and co-author, with Peter Yates, of Sibling Sexual Abuse: A Knowledge and Practice Overview for the Centre of Expertise on Child Sexual Abuse)

I found this book very moving. Many horrors occur in the world. Alice has managed to tell her story in light of this with a great deal of introspection and compassion for herself. To me it showed a woman who found a path forward. Having Alice read the book kept reminding me that this is a real story. I hope there will be a Volume 2.

Having spent the past 40 dealing with my own experience of sibling abuse, I found the recount of Alice’s journey to be told in a respectful, relatable, intelligent and powerful manner.

I will be gifting this book to all the women in my close circle, my psychologist, psychotherapist and recommending this book as much as possible, as I believe it is an invaluable resource for all families and people working in the medical industry.

Alice’s tale not only focuses on the abuse she faced as a child, but the effects that followed throughout her whole lifetime which is sadly so relatable and common to so many victims of sexual assault, particularly those of interfamilial SA as it results in harm occurring in the home, which should be a safe space for the child who is being hurt by another primary carer (in both our experiences being our older brother)

It was important to me to hear about the statistics of this silent epidemic that does manifest in to prolonged physical pain and disease. I appreciated that information being included in the book.

I am inspired to continue on my own personal healing journey and will continue to refer to this book as a vital tool and reminder, that I am not alone.

Thank you for your courage in sharing your story.
