Good Resource on a Serious Issue: Review of Yvette Allen-Tatum's I Didn't Know

“I Didn't Know" is for more than just an audience of one. If you look to your left, look to your right, or directly in the mirror, you will see or know someone who has been sexually abused... even if you look in the mirror, and the person is YOU! More than the tragedy of sexual abuse is the tragedy of the silence of sexual abuse. It must be talked about. Our stories have to be shared; someone's life is literally depending upon YOU to BREAK THE IGNORANCE OF SILENCE! "I Didn't Know" brings to the forefront the many hidden faces of child sexual abuse. The author, Yvette L. Allen-Tatum, shares not only her story, but the compelling testimonies of others--everyone from the actual victim, to the offender, to those who standby by in disbelief and allow these heinous crimes against our children to continue. Our voices have to be heard, our children must be free or freed to tell the TRUTH: that someone touched them. Who can they run to? Will it be you?

Good Resource on a Serious Issue

Identifying, Confronting, Overcoming -- three key steps to dealing with any issue. Often, when we talk about serious issues, like child sexual abuse, especially when dealing with the media, we hear a lot of IDENTIFYING, but not a lot of confronting and overcoming. This is why Allen-Tatum's book I DIDN'T KNOW appeals to me; it offers--through the author's personal stories, others' stories, scripture, and research--a process in which we all, from victims to family and friends of victims--can understand this issue, openly communicate on this issue, and protect our loved ones. Although at times the author tends to bounce around on points up for discussion, jarring my read, this is a book I would recommend to readers.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
