'Resolve is the most compelling book I have ever read.' - Terry Edwards, Educator of 56 years and former Christian Brother, Sunshine Coast, QLD, Australia 2023. Anne Moody, Adoption Agency Director and author of The Children Money Can Buy and The Baby Market Bainbridge Island, Washington, USA 5-Star Amazon.com and Goodreads Review, July 8, 2023: Alice Perle has written a beautiful and enlightening memoir about an ugly subject that has long been shrouded in denial. The early chapters of Resolve perfectly evoke the sense of helplessness, confusion and dread that a child wounded by sibling sexual abuse suffers. Feelings of despair and unworthiness are added to the mix when her pleas for help fall on deaf ears and the situation is minimized within the family. Somehow Perle finds the inner strength to fight back and takes the reader along on her arduous and uneven journey, with a detailed guide to the various methods she explored to help her come to terms with this aspect of her life. Resolve is a memoir that expresses the author's personal experiences and it is also a well-researched book that contributes much needed information about a previously taboo subject. Perle's writing is compelling and her contribution to enlightening the world about the subject of sibling sexual abuse will be of great value. Emma Rees, Doctor of Philosophy, PHD, Child Sexual Exploitation England, UK 5-Star Amazon.co.uk and Goodreads Review, July 6, 2023: From the moment I picked up this book, I was fascinated by Alice's story. Sibling sexual abuse is not easy to talk about, and while it was horrifying to read what older brother, Darryl, subjected Alice to, the book taught me what I need to know about this type of violence, and how best (or how not to) respond if a child or adult tells me that they experienced, or are experiencing it. Alice has inspired me to do what I can to prevent other children being subjected to sibling sexual abuse; such as believing children who draw on deep courage to disclose and acting on their disclosure. More generally we can all encourage open, but sensitive conversations about what can and does happen in our homes, families and communities. Sibling sexual abuse is common, so we must be aware of this to stop it before it starts, and improve our responses so that children are not left to suffer and protect themselves from this violence alone, as Alice was. Thank you, Alice; for having the resolve to share the story of young Alice, and for inspiring me with your bravery and courage on the path to healing. Sharon Ilstrup, Executive Coach Seattle, USA Review shared to LinkedIn, June 27, 2023 My beautiful and amazing friend wrote a beautiful and amazing book. A book about something that isn't talked about. A topic that is hard to wrap our heads around, yet more common than we realize. If you or someone you know has had any type of childhood abuse/trauma, this is an important and powerful read. It not only tells the tragic story of Alice and her experience, it also provides research-based information and support. I hope you will read and follow @resolvebyaliceperle on IG. More: Wow! I've been swearing out loud and in tears. Such a heartbreaking journey of innocence robbed from that little girl; it's incredibly relatable. I'm so impressed by this book. The stories, research and insights make it both an interesting and educational read. Alice, I love you for sharing your story. The amount of people this book will help is beyond measure. Thank you for writing this powerful book. The combination of personal story and research is incredibly helpful.This book also helps people who have been abused by a parent, uncle, cousin, or anyone!
