      Introduction

      Victims of child sexual abuse need to hear three important messages:

      1. You are not alone. Many, many children become victims of child sexual abuse. Former victims sharing their stories with you in this book let you know that many other children have had experiences similar to yours. Most have gone on to lead happy, successful lives. You can too.

      This book was written for victims of child sexual abuse who are now teenagers or adults. It is also intended for their families, friends, counselors and others who want to understand and help them.
