Stolen Innocence is written in a very simplistic, easy term. The format is a diary and the story is heart wrenching.
The writer, Erin Merryn has, had to overcome a lot and it is this readers opinion that this book is best read by children/teens that have been sexually abused since it is mainly written for that audience.
It is graphic as she describes the details of her abuse so take caution with minors that you allow to read this.
Grade: B-
Synopsis
Eleven-year-old Erin Myrren's life was transformed on the night she was sexually abused by her cousin, someone she loved and trusted. As the abuse continued, and as she was forced to see her abuser over and over again in social situations, she struggled with self-doubt, panic attacks, nightmares and the weight of whether or not to tell her terrible secret. It wasn't until a traumatic series of events showed her the cost of silence that she chose to speak out-in the process destroying both her family and the last of her innocence.
Through her personal diary, written during the years of her abuse, Erin Myrren shares her journey through pain and confusion to inner strength and, ultimately, forgiveness. Raw, powerful and unflinchingly honest, Stolen Innocence is the inspiring story of one girl's struggle to become a woman, and a bright light on the pain and devastation of abuse.
