Shining Through is a sensitive, easy-to-read, and useful guide for young women (ages 10 and up) dealing with sexual abuse.

To the well-received first edition, the authors have added thoughtful and practical material bout self-esteem, body image, relationships, sexuality, therapy, and "the rest of my life." (2003)
