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.
