Leila Rae Sommerfeld uses her own story of recovery after rape, her reservoir of empathy, and her professional knowledge to help readers overcome emotional scars and become whole again.
First she tells her story and the stories of those she has known in her work with the American Association of Christian Counsellors. Then she tackles twenty-one tough topics in short, easily digestible chapters.
A full resource for victims of sexual assault, Beyond Our Control includes discussion questions for group or individual reflection; a checklist that guides victims through steps to take after the assault; and appendices for husbands, fathers, friends, and pastors.
