""Strong at the Heart" is an absolute gift to the world. Each person inside this book is whispering, 'Listen, learn, love, forgive - see this new greatness in me." -- Jacqueline Woodson, author of "I Hadn't Meant to Tell You" "Powerful and right on the money. Every student will want to read it and every teacher should. This is the kind of book that will help our culture understand itself." --Chris Crutcher, family therapist and author of "Chinese Handcuffs" "By sharing the individual stories of young women and men who have had the courage to speak out, Lehman gives - to "all "who have been abused - faces, hope, and the healing knowledge that they are not alone. "Strong at the Heart "is essential - and inspiring - reading." --Michael Cart "Lehman's powerful collection...packs a strong emotional punch. The strength of this sensitive, evenhanded book comes from its increasing awareness about something teens may be silently suffering." -- "Booklist" "The stories here are compelling, each with its individual winding path to healing. The essays reflect the individuality of the survivor. This collection...will undoubtedly touch a nerve, offering insight and hope for many." -- "VOYA" "Without sensationalizing, the first-person narratives each convey the particulars of an individual experience that will encourage readers' empathy." -- "The Horn Book" "Excellently balanced. Over and over, the interviewees each say how much it helped to hear that someone else shared their experiences - that they were not alone. One hopes that this book will be that voice for readers." --"Kirkus Reviews" "Clearly and candidly written. The clear message to other victims is that they are not alone and that recovery is possible." -- "School Library Journal" "This is an important addition to the limited young-adult survivor selection." -- "Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books" "May well give teens who have had similar experiences the courage to come forward and to begin to heal from them." --"Publishers Weekly", " Strong at the Heart is an absolute gift to the world.
