Book description
Why read it?
1 author picked My Life Now as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
My Life Now is a pivotal book that should be in everyone's library who is working to combat sex trafficking.
I am dumbfounded by the rampant sexual abuse quietly and deviously going on all around us. Mary's book sheds light on all aspects of child sexual abuse - how it can happen, why it happens, and why children are in "survival mode" and don't remember the abuse sometimes until decades later.
Mary Knight also produced a documentary I recommend called Mothers and Molestation: A Film about Child Abuse.
