Spectral Evidence by Moira Johnston (Paperback - Basic Books)
National Magazine Award-winning author Moira Johnston tells the dramatic story of a "perfect" American family destroyed when a daughter's "flashbacks" of incestuous rape by her father turned to accusations and lawsuits - and of the explosive landmark trial in Napa Valley that gave a father, for the first time, the right to strike back legally at the therapists he believed had planted false memories of sexual abuse in his daughter's mind. Johnston sets the story of Gary, Stephanie, and Holly Ramona in the context of a broader concern over the destructive impact of uncorroborated memories of childhood sexual abuse, a controversy that has embroiled parents, adult children, and family therapists throughout the country and has stirred debate among feminists, psychologists, memory scientists, and lawyers.

Fire of the Five Hearts by Holly A. Smith (Paperback - Brunner-Routledge)

Twenty years ago, Holly Smith didn't know how drastically her life would change when she joined the Sexual Abuse Team in Boulder, Colorado. What she first considered a temporary job became a gut-wrenching, but ultimately satisfying quest that touched hundreds of children's lives.

Fire of the Five Hearts is Smith's unflinching account of her work with victims of incest, a crime that affects one in five children. In stark, elegant prose, Smith immerses us in the grueling details of her tiny patients' lives, punctuating the accounts with her own range of emotions: disgust, shock, anger, guilt, joy at victory tempered by sadness of innocence lost.

"There is nothing pretty or clean" here, and Smith relates with utter honesty the toll this work takes on her as a therapist and as a person. She expresses the rage, as well as the strange compassion she feels towards incest offenders; the surrealism of reading sexually explicit, stomach-turning reports every day; the raw, painful process of prying open the soul of a child; and the uncompromising passion that has sustained her in this work for two decades.

In the face of a crime that sends us reeling, Fire of the Five Hearts breaks through the secrecy and silence to find hope for both victims and healers.

The Secret Trauma by Diana E.H. Russell (Paperback - Revised)
The Secret Trauma remains the definitive study of the overwhelming prevalence of incestuous abuse in American families. Basing her findings on her large-scale study, Diana E. H. Russell makes a persuasive case for an epidemic of abuse on a national scale. The Secret Trauma is a nuanced and sophisticated analysis of the complex variables of incestuous abuse: the changing incidence of abuse over time; the severity of the abuse; the victim's age; factors of class, race, and ethnicity, and long-term effects on victims.

Fault Lines by Tish Langlois (Paperback - Sumach Pr)
A Catholic takes a controversial look at sexual abuse and the religious ideology which fosters the unequal power relationships that lead to incest and abuse. Drawing on personal stories from interviews with survivors, Tish Langlois exposes the power relationships within families, clearly laying the foundation for a better understanding of why sexual abuse occurs and how women can reconstruct their identifies and empower themselves. Langlois shows how "official" Catholicism benefits men at the expense of women and children through a gendered division of labor and a rigidly defined sexuality. She traces the fines of fault that emerge between Catholic ideology and women'\s actual experiences and argues that patriarchal religion fosters abusive relations. Fault Lines asks how Catholic women can "take ownership of the faith" to challenge the underlying components of the family and sexual ideology, fundamentally changing Catholicism itself.
