Experts say incest is the most common of all sexual abuse, but the least discussed openly. This can leave victims isolated and less able to reveal abuse, which can have further psychological ramifications later on. A noted expert on sexual abuse discusses how incest makes girls feel particularly responsible and unable to come forward, and a non-profit organization that seeks to help them.

My name is Nancy Dahlhauser. I wrote a memoir, Fallout; memoir of a freckle face freak, that chronicles my journey of recovery from a childhood rape. My goal is to share my story for FREE with fellow survivors and those that work on their behalf. I believe sharing my story gives meaning to my assault. I also humbly pray that it can provide some hope for fellow survivors. If you read my book and find it worthy enough to share with your members, I would be most honored. You can download a complimentary electronic copy at http://www.nancydahlhauser.com Thanks for all the work you do on behalf of survivors of childhood sexual abuse.
Many blessings to you.
Nancy
