A survivor of childhood sexual abuse, Siah wrote this book for every adult who will be tasked with identifying and dealing with the effects of abuse on children of color. A quick read, the book helps mothers, fathers, grandparents, caregivers, social workers, siblings, and other loved ones know and understand sexual abuse. In it, Siah defines sexual abuse, shines a light on a familiar predatory technique, "grooming", provides statistics, helps us to identify the signs of sexual abuse, and so more.
