In her opening remarks, wife of the author and a marriage counsellor too, Mrs Funmi Adewale said the writing of the book was borne out of an urgent need to mitigate this great problem in the society today. “There is urgent need to educate parents and the society so that their children will not be victims of sexual abuse and to counsel those that were abused and bring comfort to them.
The book opens with 51 heartbreaking and real-life stories of past sexual abuse victims. Many of these victims, now adults, shared stories of what happened to them when they were younger. Some were as young as four years old.
