Abuse is devastating. It's debilitating. Its impact can be felt throughout the life of the abused, and no one knows that more than the author, Siah B. Hagin. A survivor of childhood sexual abuse, Siah wrote this book for every adult who will be tasked with identifying and dealing with the effects of abuse on children of color. A quick read, the book helps mothers, fathers, grandparents, caregivers, social workers, siblings, and other loved ones know and understand sexual abuse. In it, Siah defines sexual abuse, shines a light on a familiar predatory technique, "grooming", provides statistics, helps us to identify the signs of sexual abuse, and so more. The book is written to educate, inform and empower us to support black girls who are victims of sexual abuse.
