A powerful source of healing for teen girls and young women who have experienced sexual abuse, Invisible Girls offers survivors agency and hope in an era when too many girls have suffered alone The statistics are staggering. One in four girls will experience sexual abuse by the time she is sixteen, and 48 percent of all rapes involve a young woman under the age of eighteen. It's not surprising then, that in a society where sexual abuse of young women is rampant, many women never share their stories. They remain hidden and invisible. In her pioneering work with young survivors through the last thirty years, Dr. Patti Feuereisen has helped teen girls and young women to find their voices, begin healing, and become visible. In this revised second edition, Dr. Patti's gentle guidance and the girls' powerful stories continue to create an encouraging message: Remarkable healing is possible if girls learn to share their stories in their teens and early twenties. With a new introduction, new chapters, and updated resources, this new edition of Invisible Girls has even more to offer girls, young women, and those who care about them.
"Invisible Target" is a true, detailed account of one girl's experience of educator sexual abuse at the hands of her middle school teacher. It follows her journey, beginning with her tumultuous childhood, meeting the teacher, and the grooming process he created to lure her into a false sense of trust and ultimate betrayal. After years of abuse and manipulation, she finally found the courage to bravely break away from her abuser. With excerpts from newspaper articles and an actual court impact statement, this book gives you a clear picture of how the epidemic of educator sexual abuse begins, progresses, and affects so many innocent lives. "Invisible Target" is more than a memoir. With thought-provoking questions at the close of each chapter, this book serves as a strong educational tool for students, parents, teachers, and administrators by shedding light on the dynamics of educator sexual abuse so that school can be a safe haven for every child. "I highly recommend that "Invisible Target" be read and discussed in every school community in the country." -John M. Seryak, M.Ed. "This book can help students identify predators, parents to support their children, and educators to prevent abuse." -Charol Shakeshaft, Ph.D. "Although the topic is obviously very disturbing and disheartening, Andrea's story is one of hope." -Robert J. Shoop, Ph.D.
During these harrowing times of social and economic turbulence, romantic relationships are often prone to issues of control and power plays between two partners. Perhaps one makes more money than the other, feels as though he or she does more around the house in terms of chores and duties or carries the emotional load of the relationship more than his or her partner. Otherwise resolvable problems such as these can be, in many cases, catalysts for a form of abuse that might not leave the victim with any visible cuts and bruises but is damaging and hurtful.
YOU'RE IN A RELATIONSHIP, BUT SOMETIMES YOU FEEL ALONE. Sometimes you worry that your partner is only "putting up" with you. These are just two of the common warning signs that you are in a relationship with a narcissist, and they should never be ignored. You may also find your partner to be very controlling, down to what you wear or eat. You may feel like you're walking on eggshells around another person, not comfortable or at ease with them (this is a big one). If this is the case, it's possible that you may be suffering from Narcissistic Abuse Syndrome. Congratulations! You have taken the first step towards recovery: seeking the truth. Informing yourself and arming yourself with knowledge is all too critical for those suffering under a narcissist because, as you may have observed, the narcissist will often assert their reality onto you. This can cloud your judgment and make it easy to forget what is normal and healthy behavior. And worst of all, the abusive tactics of narcissists are almost always covert, making them difficult to spot, and giving the narcissist "plausible deniability" that can result in hair-pullingly frustrating arguments with them that seem to go nowhere as they defend their actions. Take a deep breath. If you feel guilty or at fault, it's only the narcissist's voice talking in your head. The sole purpose of this book is to unravel that web that the narcissist has spun so that you can have a clear vision of the condition, and take the steps to heal from any trauma that has occurred and prevent it from happening all over again. Inside these pages you will uncover: The six unmistakable warning signs of Narcissistic Abuse Syndrome An easy trick to always spot a narcissist quickly and effortlessly Indefensible weapons to disarm the covert narcissist The surprising truth about why empaths and sensitive people are drawn to narcissists The number one most powerful tool for healing from narcissistic abuse Other recovery methods for the narcissists in your family, including narcissistic mothers Effective ways to protect yourself from future abuse and never tolerate it again! And much more... Don't let a narcissist convince you that nothing is wrong! Even if you feel like there is no hope for recovery, or you've tried and failed in the past, you can begin your journey to recovery and to the person that will treat you the way you want right now. Arm yourself with this collection of proven techniques and a wealth of knowledge that is quick and easy to absorb. Scroll up and add this book to your cart!

PULITZER PRIZE WINNER • A “vivid and devastating” (The New York Times) portrait of an indomitable girl—from acclaimed journalist Andrea Elliott “From its first indelible pages to its rich and startling conclusion, Invisible Child had me, by turns, stricken, inspired, outraged, illuminated, in tears, and hungering for reimmersion in its Dickensian depths.”—Ayad Akhtar, author of Homeland Elegies ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Times • ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Atlantic, The New York Times Book Review, Time, NPR, Library Journal In Invisible Child, Pulitzer Prize winner Andrea Elliott follows eight dramatic years in the life of Dasani, a girl whose imagination is as soaring as the skyscrapers near her Brooklyn shelter. In this sweeping narrative, Elliott weaves the story of Dasani’s childhood with the history of her ancestors, tracing their passage from slavery to the Great Migration north. As Dasani comes of age, New York City’s homeless crisis has exploded, deepening the chasm between rich and poor. She must guide her siblings through a world riddled by hunger, violence, racism, drug addiction, and the threat of foster care. Out on the street, Dasani becomes a fierce fighter “to protect those who I love.” When she finally escapes city life to enroll in a boarding school, she faces an impossible question: What if leaving poverty means abandoning your family, and yourself? A work of luminous and riveting prose, Elliott’s Invisible Child reads like a page-turning novel. It is an astonishing story about the power of resilience, the importance of family and the cost of inequality—told through the crucible of one remarkable girl. Winner of the J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize • Finalist for the Bernstein Award and the PEN/John Kenneth Galbraith Award
