Does this topic make you squirm? I hope so. The author bares her past and progress to the present to bring us to an understanding of the powerful complexities of a story that is far too common. Instead of merely talking 'about' what happened to Lisa Turner, we glimpse on a moment-by-moment basis what actually happened to her -- a sad and life-altering sequence of events! Why is this level of detail so important? Wake up, everyone! The impostor seducer could have been YOUR teacher. Lisa could have been YOUR child, YOUR sister, YOUR friend... imagine this: Lisa's story, or a variation thereof, could have happened to YOU! That's why Lisa's story is worth telling, worth reading, worth feeling sick about; it serves as a warning to us all. What amazes me is how Lisa transformed these circumstances and ultimately used them as a crucible to define and sharpen her gifts and talents and to become a person who helps others shift their healing energy, release their past hurts and embrace their futures, joyfully, and with the promise of a better day. Before you might be tempted to categorize the necessarily graphic topics of sexual predation and adult-child domination as pornography, think twice about the brave souls who illuminate their paths, baring all, so that any who have not yet left the dark forest might also find their way. I commend this author and thank her for sharing so generously.
