And how that abuse has consequences for all of us..
It is also for parents, counselors, law makers and others to expose this Industry for what it is: child abuse.
This is a book first and foremost for survivors who can find support and community in these stories.

Speak, because there is power in your testimony.
Speak, and we will be there for you.

And you are not alone.
You are not unlovable.
