A True Story...

This novel, set in Hollywood in the 1970s, is a true story of a young girl who was sexually abused by her father, written by the psychiatrist she went to for her emotional problems. Actual conversations between the doctor and the patient are written word for word and you come to understand this incestuous relationship and how it affected her entire family life, including the relationship with her mother. We see her come a long way from when she first began therapy through the use of hypnosis, taking her back to the years when the abuse first began. Silent Sin is a fast read that I found very interesting. I have never been in an incestuous relationship but I still found this book to be cathartic because it is about living a healthy life in spite of traumatic events. I highly recommend!
