review 1: This is an amazingly powerful book on many levels. We not only see the horrible things the author went thru as a child but we see how she endured abuse her entire life until she decided enough was enough. The images she gives can be extremely disturbing and one asks how can a person be put through so much. However the light at the end gives so much hope and promise for future generations. She is a great example of breaking the abuse cycle and creating a better life for her children than she had. I got thia book from the first reads giveaway!
review 2: Stand by Debbie Williamson is a sensitive and detailed telling of her life as a sexually abused 9 year old to her final resolution with her abuser, her uncle. This book portrays and hurt and anger and self hatred ... morethat resulted from her horrible experience. The book tells not just of her early experience but of her mother’s abuse from her step father Debbie was sexually abused by her uncle. Both them were threatened by their abusers that if they told. It is amazing that with their experiences that they both were able to find their selves out of the hell that became their lives. As the author out it the light in their eyes and their lives went out. I could not put this book down, carrying it everywhere that I went until it was finished. Debbie Williamson is an incredible person to set this entire painful story down and triumph over the worst experiences of her life. I would recommend this book to everyone who has been sexually abused as a child and to all who need to understand the terrible destructiveness of that act. If you decide to read it, try to set a day for it alone. less
