Sexually and physically abused by her father, Eve has struggled her whole life from this betrayal, longing for an honest reckoning from a man who is long dead. After years of work as an anti-violence activist, she decided she would wait no longer; an apology could be imagined, by her, for her, to her. The Apology, written by Eve from her father's point of view in the words she longed to hear, attempts to transform the abuse she suffered with unflinching truthfulness, compassion, and an expansive vision for the future. Through The Apology Eve has set out to provide a new way for herself and a possible road for others, so that survivors of abuse may finally envision how to be free. She grapples with questions she has sought answers to since she first realized the impact of her father's abuse on her life: How do we offer a doorway rather than a locked cell? How do we move from humiliation to revelation, from curtailing behavior to changing it, from condemning perpetrators to calling them to reckoning? What will it take for abusers to genuinely apologize? Remarkable and original, The Apology is an acutely transformational look at how, from the wounds of sexual abuse, we can begin to re-emerge and heal. It is revolutionary, asking everything of each of us: courage, honesty, and forgiveness. 533 Electronic reproduction.|bNew York :|cBloomsbury Publishing,|d2019.|nRequires OverDrive Read (file size: N/ A KB) or Adobe Digital Editions (file size: 653 KB) or Kobo app or compatible Kobo device (file size: N/A KB) or Amazon Kindle (file size: N/A KB). 650 7 Family & Relationships.|2OverDrive 650 7 Psychology.|2OverDrive 650 7 Sociology.|2OverDrive 650 17 Nonfiction.|2OverDrive 655 7 Electronic books.|2local 776 1 |cOriginal|z9781635574388 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.overdrive.com/media/4625679 |zAvailable on OverDrive/Libby 856 42 |3Excerpt|uhttps://samples.overdrive.com/?crid=e46750eb- 5397-4ad1-aba8-28a43db43f95&.epub-sample.overdrive.com |zSample 856 42 |3Image|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/2183-1/ %7BE46750EB-5397-4AD1-ABA8-28A43DB43F95%7DImg100.jpg |zLarge cover image 856 42 |3Thumbnail|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/2183-1/ %7BE46750EB-5397-4AD1-ABA8-28A43DB43F95%7DImg200.jpg |zThumbnail cover image
