This explosive memoir is the first book to take readers inside a
rape crisis center-to the front lines in the battle to protect
children from sexual predators. It is set in the 1980's, a time
when the "secrecy code" surrounding child sexual abuse is shattered
by an unprecedented influx of child sexual abuse cases, stunning
the nation. Why do the children finally speak out? Who do they
tell? What is done about it? Bonati answers those first
gut-wrenching calls that come through on the crisis line-"I think
this child might have been sexually molested. Can you please help
me?" Included are riveting case stories, uttered from the mouths of
victims, ranging in ages from pre-school children to adult
survivors. She describes an antiquated criminal justice system
unequipped to deal with children accusing adults of felonious
crimes. As a twelve-year child sexual abuse coordinator for Rape
& Assault Support Services of Nashua, New Hampshire, Bonati
interviews over three hundred children, confronts The System,
testifies for legislative changes, and educates the public. Written
in an easy to read, conversational style, this book brings a
down-to-earth understanding of a complex problem that still faces
us today, offering concrete steps we can take to stop this heinous
crime.
