An assault can causephysical injuries, STDs and STIs,post-traumatic stress disorder, flashbacks, anxiety, depression, and other re-experiencing symptoms. It can lead to poor academic performance, substance abuse, risky sexual behavior, and even suicide.

Topics covered include date rape abusive relationships incest breaking the silence victim blaming support healing An invaluable resource for young people, Sexual Assault: The Ultimate Teen Guide aims to give victims and their friends the courage to report such crimes, advice on where to find help, and hope that life can return to some sense of normalcy after such a horrific experience.

This pioneering self-help book takes a close look at a topic that has been ignored or downplayed by other books on incest and childhood sexual abuse: that the non-perpetrating parent usually bears a great deal of responsibility for the child's abuse. In this examination of the complicated dynamics of abuse, the enabling mother is not treated as a victim, rather as an adult responsible for her failure to protect her child. Self-help exercises are interspersed with case histories and analytical material throughout the book, useful to both survivors and therapists.

According to Harris, a woman discovers a new identity by becoming the "subject who writes" rather than the victim who waits in silence. Knowing that the problem of violence against women is universal in our world, Harris put out a call to professional writers, women in shelters, and scholars in academe. She advertised in literary journals and newsletters, asking for autobiographical writings by women who survived any kind of violence and abuse. Rape, Incest, Battery resulted from her long process of collecting, selecting, and editing.

Imagine being five years old and learning your alphabet in preparation to read. But what happens when rape steals your innocence and sexual and emotional abuse are becoming your only learning tools. Where do you turn to for courage? Who do you turn to for strength? My past is a reflection of who I was and God's Light is a reflection of His future for me. Consider this: the act that connects you to your enemy is control. Forgiveness is squeezing the life out of the control they once had over you and forgiveness is giving yourself permission to heal. When you forgive, you regain all that was stolen from you and you are now in control. Those memories you have harbored in the depths of your soul; forgive and let go.
