The book is the outcome of the passion for research of the author in counseling abused girls in order to inculcate positive vibes and thoughts in their lives. The increasing number of sexual abuse cases reported in the media confirms the significance of the publication of Dr. Grace's research. Using both qualitative and quantitative research methods, this book brings to us verbal reports, case studies, symptoms and severity of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in abused girls.

This book also invites us to see the complementary role of churches, families, and societies to not only prevent such atrocities, but also to provide effective interventions for which the suggestions provide a glimpse of the opportunities the significant others have in the lives of the abused. The readers will enter into dialogue with the pages of this book and re-examine their role in promoting abuse-free societies and supporting young lives that are abused.
