A story of true courage
|
Sarah's Story managed to stir so many different emotions in me as the reader. It made me cry with heartfelt sorrow, it made me angry, it shocked and filled me with an overwhelming need for justice for Sarah and all the other abused children who's story we may not read but is just as real as Sarah's. Sarah's Story also managed to fill me with a sense of admiration at the courage shown by a little girl, who, against all odds, managed to find the courage to stop the abuse.
It is a truly inspirational story of how the wrong kind of love can destroy a child's life, and how the right kind of love can be instrumental in that child's recovery and freedom. If ever there was a story to inspire other abused children to have hope and strength, this is it.

Moving and inspirational

I feel I should review Sarah's book and give her the acknowledgement she deserves as an author. 'Sarah's Story', (Living with the Past), is a harrowing story and although her journey through life was not one of physical abuse, the sexual abuse she, and others like her suffered in their lives, is no less harrowing than Dave Peltzers. How do you measure such acts of betrayal against any child?
Amazon request book reviews, not comments about a book being published under a different title. I am sure that Sarah had no part in her publishers decision to publish her story in paperback using a different title. (I'm sure they aren't the first or last to do this). Stay strong Sarah and be a true survivor. You and all the other writers, who care and relive their horrific memories, in order to tell their stories to the world continue to educate us all on the true scale of the atrocities of sexual abuse against children.
