| What People Are Saying About Rhonnie & The Book |
Into every generation there seems to come messengers of brutal truth. Rhonnie is one of
these. She takes the reader on a journey into a child's nightmare and guides us by her fine
sense of her own ability to survive. She describes cruel, even savage darkness. Into this
she shines the bright and sometimes harsh light of her spirit..."
-- Mary O'Connor, MA, MSW, CSW
"If you do not read this book for any other reason, you should read it to give yourself a
better understanding of the problems caused by child abuse and neglect. If you are
one who has experienced child abuse or neglect, maybe you can find the strength
from the one person's triumph to start on the road to healing. Perhaps this book will
the impetus for others to break the cycle of abuse and save other children from the horrors
that they have experienced."
-- Troy W. Turner, Child Protective Services
"In a gripping and well-written narrative, So, What's Normal? LIFE AFTER PEDOPHILIA,
ABUSE AND NEGLECT shines a spotlight on one of this country's most pressing health
problems--child sexual abuse in the family. Rhonnie courageously speaks out about her own
abuse in a way the will inspire you to learn the facts about child molestation, to focus on its
cause, and to take action to protect the children around your from ever being molested..."
-- Whitney Gabriel, Executive Director,
Child Molestation Research and Prevention Institute
"So, What's Normal? Life After Pedophilia, Abuse and Neglect is a blunt book. It recounts a
tale of almost unimaginable savagery and ultimate triumph from the personal perspective of a
remarkable woman, and her recollection of battles with dismay, horror and betrayal from
earliest childhood on..."
-- Charles W. Bethea, Ph.D.
"In the book you are about to read, Rhonnie shares the story of her own childhood sexual
abuse. Through her words, we can begin to understand her pain, suffering, and heartache.
Through her courageous example, we can see how she has broken cycles of abuse and
what she has done to create and maintain a sense of safety and new meaning in her life.
Her example adds fuel to the hope that all victims of childhood sexual abuse can recover
and go on to live healthy, fulfilling lives abounding with healthy meaningful and enriching
relationships.
-- Gregory J. Worthington, PsyD, LLP
In my work with the abused, I have recommended Rhonnie's book time and again.
Rhonnie's book is difficult to read. I urge all of you to press through the hard stuff and READ
THIS BOOK. You will end this book proactive towards child abuse, rather than choosing to
ignore it. This is part of the answer to stopping the epidemic of child abuse that is rampant in
our society today! We must be OUTRAGED with adults abusing children, and get involved,
report it, and seek help for the children, as well as the abusers. Get this book in the hands
of everyone you can! It will change your perspective and change your life!
I am so impressed that Rhonnie had the courage to write her story and open her life for all
to read about. That couldn't have been easy. It put her in a position with family to be
targeted for her refusal to stay in denial of the family secrets. Thank you, Rhonnie, for
caring so much for America's abused children, that you subjected yourself to persecution,
ridicule and facing your own pain and agony.Thank you, Rhonnie for inspiring us into action!!
