Customer Reviews

Powerful Resource

In my work as a counselor, I use this book with adult women who are abuse survivors. Marlowe provides clear and concise definitions of the specific types of abuse and boundary violations. This book provides a wonderful source of skills for personal empowerment of teenagers, i.e. information that is validating and useful to young people who may have abuse in their histories. I find it a powerful tool in working with adults, who often need this validation as well! I especially like the layout of the book, which makes it easy to use as a therapeutic tool. A great resource for counselors and educators alike.

Great Information

As a Child Advocate, I found this book to be most helpful and useful in my work. Several teenagers that I currently work with have been struggling with difficult issues at home. After reading this book they have been able to make some positive changes. It is a user-friendly book for both teenagers and adults.

Rules to Live By

Finding Safety is geared towards teenagers in abusive situations, and it offers great, clear advice. But anyone can benefit from reading this book, and relate to the stories being told. Marlowe offers support and advice in an easy to read format. I highly recommend this book.

Excellent life-handbook

Marlowe's book contains useful information for everyone. She provides clear and easy ways to detrmine harmful situations without having to wade through extra information. It can be used to flip to one area of interest or read in its entirety.
