by Rick Thomas (Author)

Someone is going to tell you about their abuse. A woman may stay after the meeting and not look at you. A wife will call the church office and start three sentences before she finishes one. What you do in the first hour will either open a door she has kept shut for years or close it for another decade. This book is not for the abused. It is for the person she told about her abuse. It assumes you want to help, and it questions whether you know how. Wanting to help and knowing how are two different things. You can learn the difference.
