Rating: 5 out of 5

Remember, Not A Word by Rebecca D. Myers should be subtitled Profiles in Courage.This is an amazing book -- a true story of personal child abuse and later marital abuse suffered by the author. It must have taken a tremendous amount of courage by Myers to put her story into words. I'm glad she did because this is a textbook for others of how to cope and triumph above these abominable acts.I was given a free advance copy of this book by the author to review and I am privileged to do so.I must say much of this book is not easy reading and turns the stomach in places and some people may find it too much to take. But I think it would do people good to read this account and realize society needs to take stronger steps against this kind of abuse.Rebecca Myers's book at times made me ashamed of my gender. But I also realize there are many good men out there and I hope that I am one of them. Real men do not abuse children or their wives or girlfriends.This book is well written, well edited and a powerful voice against abuse. Let's hope many people read it, listen and help take action to stop abuse.I think the really moving thing for me in the book is that Rebecca later meets her soul mate and is now happily married to a wonderful man. She deserves it.Bravo, Rebecca D. Myers. I salute you!
