    “Sexual Assault of Young Children as Reported to Law Enforcement” by Howard Snyder

“I had a heart full of hate, rage, bitterness, unforgiveness, addiction to control, and dishonesty to everyone especially myself. I lived under the shadow of shame and guilt for the mental, physical, and sexual abuse I had endured.” 

Iris Wainright - Author
