Between the ages of eleven and seventeen, a child experiencing
sexual abuse kept a secret journal of poetry. Throughout the abuse,
she kept her little orange book hidden whilst she filled it full of
poems questioning what was happening to her, whether the abusers
really loved her and whether she was normal. Named after the
original journal, The Little Orange Book by Jessica Eaton and
Claire Paterson-Young contains a unique analysis and exploration of
the poems and their themes. Each poem is presented along with
evidence from literature and practice in child sexual abuse. The
book explores key questions and examples such as: How do children
understand the difference between abuse and romance? What is the
impact of abuse on children's self-image and self-trust? How do
children use fairy tales, films and popular culture to understand
abuse? What coping mechanisms do children use to cope with sexual
abuse - and how are they perceived by society?
What can we learn from this unique example of writing from a child
experiencing severe abuse, rape and daily violence? What can we
learn about how she coped with and understood what was happening to
her? Jessica Eaton and Claire Paterson-Young work through the
poems, performing thematic analysis and grounding the voice of the
child in empirical literature to inform our understanding and to
improve the way we support children during and after abuse. A
must-read for parents and professionals alike.
