FEATURED BOOK!
Our featured book, The last secret: Daughters sexually abuse by mothers, by Bobbie Rosencrans was the first comprehensive book to focus on mother-daughter sexual abuse (mdsa), and still represents the most extensive study ever completed with survivors of mdsa. The book is extremely well-organized, and written for a wide audience. Most importantly, the experience of reading the book tends to be extremely validating for survivors. This book was groundbreaking 10 years ago, and remains a must read!
