Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Richard Rhodes's memoir, A Hole in the World: An American Boyhood, etched an eloquent and unforgettable portrait of the emotional and physical abuse that Rhodes and his brother suffered as children at the hands of their stepmother. His book touched many men and women who had also been victims of abuse. These survivors wrote to Rhodes telling of their own abuse and how much the book had helped them deal with their own memories. Trying to Get Some Dignity: Stories of Triumph over Childhood Abuse is the result of these shared memories. The authors interviewed twenty of these men and women in depth to create a book that reports their experiences in their own words, forming an oral history that makes a collective narrative. Trying to Get Some Dignity also includes comments from carefully selected professionals whose support for the survivors' strategies for dealing with abuse will inspire all readers.
Review:
"An oral history of child abuse that reveals in numbing detail how its survivors managed to live through the experience and make decent adult lives for themselves....These are intelligent, resilient men and women whose strategies for surviving physical violence and neglect, sexual molestation, and verbal abuse are worthy of study."
Richard Rhodes
