"Survivors' Lullaby" is a dramatic and heart wrenching compilation
of personal accounts and writings by survivors of catholic clergy
abuse. Survivors and their supporters voluntarily submitted their
life accounts, poems, speeches and other written testimony. The
contributing authors have shared with us the details of years of
suffering that they have endured because of the abuse and the
subsequent cover-up of the crimes committed. They have made it
vividly clear as to why it is not possible to "Just get over it" or
to "Just move on." Included in this book are survivor submissions
from Colorado, Indiana, Canada as well as from the local Boston
area. Supporting friends have also submitted their recollections of
sidewalk demonstrations that occurred in several New England
locations and why they have become strong advocates for survivors.
Some of the accounts in this book describe graphic details of
ritual and sexual abuse and for this reason, younger readers or
those who may be emotionally fragile, should not read this book.
The purpose of this book is to end the decades of silence that
masked this human disaster and to reveal the horrific details of
crimes that have been and continue to be committed. Susan Renehan,
a survivor and vocal advocate once stated, "We need the truth
before we can heal." Only when we know the truth, embrace our
wounded and make the necessary changes to our laws, can we ensure
the safety of our next generation of children and young adults.
