Review:
From Booklist This compelling story of recovery takes us through 28 days in an inpatientclinic for female sex addicts. Silverman explores the psychology of addictionon a deeply personal level, sharing her struggles with self-destructivetendencies and her desperate desire to be loved, no matter what the cost.Molested repeatedly by her father during her childhood, she realizes theconnection between her sexual abuse and her desire to be loved by dangerous,inaccessible men. She finds she must come to terms with anger at her mother,who refused to recognize the sexual abuse of her daughters and intervene ontheir behalf. Candid, emotionally raw, often frightening, Silverman's accountis never sugarcoated, and there are no happy platitudes or breezy successstories in it. It is deeply moving, however, and should inspire anyone goingthrough a 12-step program, whether for sexual addiction or other conditions,and help addicts' friends and family members understand the journey their lovedones must travel in order to heal.
