About this title

From School Library Journal:

Grade 9 Up-This book will be a godsend for those struggling with any type of abuse. The author's experience as a licensed psychologist and counselor is evident as she takes readers through the different types of abuse, an extensive series of "What If" questions, a section on how to tell others, and one on healing. Each chapter ends with "Let It Out" for those journaling. The tone is light and encouraging, yet straightforward. The advice is seasoned and workable, taking into consideration that everyone's healing process moves at a different speed. The "Remind Yourself" bubbles are attention-getting and concise, for those not interested in reading every word. While this volume may not have wide circulation, it will provide valuable information for those who need it.
