books for partners

[natalie_in_recovery]

i'm a bit of an internet research junkie, and i found the following books for partners of survivors. i've ordered the first two and am reading the first. i figured i'd put these titles out there so people could find out about them and/or offer reviews. (btw, i know that there are books for survivors containing a chapter or appendix for partners, but i was only looking for whole books for partners. however, if one of these chapters/appendixes in a book for survivors is great, please recommend.)

Natalie,

What a great idea! I would love to hear from any partners who have comments about any of these books. What did you especially like about them?

Much love,
Larry

This is the only book about rape that I have read, Recovery by Helen Benedict, I think you can still get it as a used book. What I liked about it is not only does it tell you what is happening to you, but it has sections that your loved ones can read on how they can be a help to you.

Take care,
Clifford
