A gripping verse memoir that offers a compassionate and wrenching account of the author’s experience of childhood sexual abuse.

Trade Review
"[Because] is a rare and remarkable text. Although it deals unswervingly with abuse, violations of trust and the deeply damaging effect of both of these, it is also literary, powerful and consoling…A deeply achieved record of human truth, earned at cost and beautifully expressed." -- Eavan Boland
