Annabelle has a secret. When she was seven years old, she was
approached by a neighborhood boy and invited into a "secret club."
Unfortunately, this club was just a ruse for thirteen-year-old Joel
to groom Annabelle for abuse. A few years later, when Annabelle
turns eleven, she finds some bad feelings have returned for her.
Experts Acclaim for "Annabelle's Secret"
"Amy Barth's Annabelle could be just the 'friend' a sexually
abused child needs, and it models just what parents should to do if
their child shares about sexual abuse. A great little resource for
children, parents, schools, therapists, treatment agencies, and
prevention programs."
--Karen R. Nash, LCSW
""Annabelle's Secret" is a well-written and beautifully
illustrated book for children that tells the difficult tale of
Annabelle, what happened to her, and what she did to stop the
sexual abuse that she was experiencing. The book is written in a
straightforward yet compelling manner that exposes the excruciating
situation that far too many children experience. This book is a
welcome and needed addition to the tools that we have for children
and families and service providers for dealing openly about child
sexual abuse."
--Pamela Pine, PhD, MPH, Founder and CEO
Stop the Silence: Stop Child Sexual Abuse, Inc
""Annabelle's Secret" supports important issues regarding sexual
abuse that may arise in a young girl's life. Written like a
comforting letter from a survivor, the young reader will become
aware of the importance and safety to report any encounters. The
book is simply written and in understandable terms for any 6 to
9-year old. The information is concise, yet heartening and loving.
Annabelle's Secret should be read with a parent present to
encourage dialog about this significant subject."
--Irene Watson, author of "The Sitting Swing: Finding Wisdom to
Know the Difference"
"Annabelle relates a story that reconfirms what I have observed
over many years. Abused children, male or female, universally
believe that it is their fault. Their self-image is mangled; they
need to tell the truth; and they must get help from someone who
knows how to treat such an injury to the soul."
--Fr. Heyward B. Ewart, III, PhD, "Author of Am I Bad? Recovering
From Abuse"
