sexual violence, or know someone who is. . . . A fantastic
resource."

"I love Dr. Patti's message to the world! Sexual-abuse survivors
heal and become victorious! In this battle zone of sexual abuse
with pain, hardship, and discomfort, these beautiful goddesses
found their freedom and became victorious by walking in their
honesty, truth, and vulnerability. When we reveal our wounds, we
heal and we help others heal. Owning your scars isn't shameful at
all, in fact wearing them is very liberating and freeing. That's
exactly what Invisible Girls did for one of my best friends,
and it saved her life. Invisible Girls: Speaking The Truth About
Sexual Abuse is a form of art that makes the unseen visible. It
is a tale of the refusal to be broken, the determination to become
whole and victorious."

compassionate insights, make this the important book for anyone who
wants to begin to understand the trauma of sexual abuse and how
girls and young women survive and thrive after the crime."
--Scott Berkowitz, president of RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest
National Network), -
"This book gives girls who have gone through the unspeakable (and
survived!) the rare possibility of raising their voices loud and
clear, like we have never heard before. Invisible Girls show
us the way to recovery."
--Eva Vives, writer and director of All About Nina
"Until now we have not heard the voices of teen girls quite like
this. In this work, the author offers us a glimpse into the worlds
of teenaged girls and young women who are abuse survivors. These
young women tell their stories of incest, date rape, acquaintance
rape, and mentor abuse. The stories deserve to be heard. The truth
hurts, but it also heals."
--Canadian Women's Health Network
