<p>As a youth minister and someone who has worked in the law enforcement field advocating for kids who have been sexually abused, I saw a great need for a book that was specifically written for those who have been abused as boys. I found there was very little written about that difficult subject, and much of what was available was unhelpful, if not completely useless.I realized that probably no one was more qualified to write such a book as someone who had suffered such abuse and grown up and healed. I realized I could be that person. I began writing, not knowing how long it would take or how hard it might be. To my surprise, I was able to complete the first draft within a month. I first self-published this book under the title Orphans in the Storm-I am grateful that first edition was distributed fairly widely and hopefully helped a lot of kids who were afraid to talk, afraid someone would find out their terrible secret. After all-no one likes to admit that boys get abused too. That is why I was in my thirties before I told anyone my worst secrets. Part one of this book is more for professionals, pastors, and concerned family and friends. More stats and facts. The more people know those things, the less chance others will be victims of pedophile predators.Part two was written from my heart-for survivors, from a survivor. It is not slick or polished-just me bleeding on paper and spilling my guts. I hope it helps others to know they are not alone in their suffering and isolation-and to know they too can find healing and dignity again.Gregory Reid</p>
