To the Survivors
One Man’s Journey as a Rape Crisis Counselor with True Stories of Sexual Violence
To the Survivors is a deeply-moving, empowering, and
brutally honest book about one man’s journey as a rape crisis counselor
combined with true stories of sexual violence shared by real survivors in their
own words. Gently and beautifully constructed, To the Survivors is moving,
tender, sharp, and piercingly true all at once. The reader will encounter
uncensored written stories, poems, and interviews shared by women, men, and one
transgendered person who have been raped and sexually assaulted. The impact of
this work is far reaching – it is multi-cultural, multi-generational, and fully
expansive in its ability to reach people's hearts and minds around this
critical human issue. Robert Uttaro believes anyone can benefit from the words
in these pages; rape survivor or not.
“A moving series of survivor stories…This book is both informative for the general public and supportive for those who have suffered sexual abuse. It is hard to imagine that members of either group will not gain from reading it."
- Publisher’s Weekly Starred Review
"To the Survivors weaves together many candid accounts to form a brave and alarming exposé of assault. It is a worthwhile, eye-opening project."
- Foreword Clarion Reviews
“An engaging examination of a painful subject, with a focus on healing and forgiveness.”
- Kirkus Reviews
