0804105855 From School Library Journal nYA-- Two books, intended for victims of childhood sexual abuse, with different approaches. Step on a Crack is written in first person and tells a narrative horror story that is interspersed with sections of letters to the abused offering advice and counsel. The Right to Innocence is more in the style of a self-help manual. It includes a chapter for the mates and loved ones of survivors. Camille's book is more thorough and specific, while Engel's book is good as a general overview of the subject. Both books conclude with a resource/bibliography section that provides a good beginning for more information and help. n- Carolyn Henebry, Episcopal High School, Bellaire, Tex. nCopyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. n nProduct Description nA practical and powerful must-read book for all who have suffered childhood sexual abuse, their family members and loved ones, and for all mental health professionals. n nHarold H.
