THe only flaw I found in the book is in her treatment of the Bible. On Pg 60-61 she repeats the text of the prohibitions of sexual relations found in Leviticus, and notes that it doesn't say explcitly 'not with your daughter'. What it does say, is "Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter' which in fact does cover the daughter of your wife, (and the mother of your wife) so it covers not only a man's biological daughter but step-daughters and half-daughters as well. While she notes the father-daughter incest prohibition is by implication, the "patriarchal Gd" is far more inclusive than she gives credit, especially considering how far the text goes in explicitly forbidding sexual relations with almost any woman other than a wife (or unmarried mistress).
That said, the rest of the book is excellent.

Joyce Barrows,
This book is an in depth detailed account of child molestation/incest and the ramifications of the act and the future of the child put under such a devestating stress. I personally am a fan of memoirs, enjoying the real more so than the imagined. This book offers the real life accounts of people when they were children and the pain that they must have had to endure. It is also a moving book, similar to that of Nightmares Echo by Katlyn Stewart and Beauty For Ashes by Joyce Meyers. Though this book is a bit more clinical

Insightful, only slightly flawed . . .

A very clear, concise and informative way of explaining the complex and sometimes perplexing issues around incest. Readers who may have found the complicity of the victim incomprehensible may find new insight here. The only flaw I found in the book was the box within which it was written. The text explains things within it's own universe, but the analysis isn't quite global enough to allow it's dynamic application in the chaos of the real world, where motivations, temptations, emotions, etc. can all tangle quite intricately to further confuse the issues involved. Still, a very, I would even say indispensible treatise on the subject.
