With a foreword by Joycelyn Elders, M.D., " No Secrets, No Lies" is
a powerful and daringly honest resource guide for families seeking
to understand, prevent, and overcome childhood sexual abuse and its
devastating impact on adult survivors.
An estimated one in four women and one in six men is abused by age
eighteen, most often by someone they know. Most of these sexual
assaults are never disclosed, much less reported to the police.
"No Secrets, No Lies" demystifies the cultural taboos and social
dynamics that keep Black families silent and enable abuse to
continue for generations. Among them:
- Fear of betraying family by turning offenders in to "the
system"
- Distrust of institutions and authority figures, such as police
officers
- Reluctance to seek counseling or therapy
- A legacy of enslavement and stereotypes about black sexuality
Through compelling personal accounts from everyday people, Robin D.
Stone, a sexual abuse survivor herself, illuminates the emotional,
psychological and hidden consequences of remaining silent, and
provides holistic, practical steps to move toward healing.
"No Secrets, No Lies" candidly speaks to: survivors, telling them
they are not at fault, not alone and how they can seek help;
parents, guardians and caretakers, explaining how they can keep
children safe and help survivors recover; and family, friends and
other loved ones, showing ways to lend support.
