Description

Now a Lifetime Television original movie airing April 2008 with Sally Pressman, star of Army Wives. In this powerful memoir, a woman learns to value herself--as a whole person rather than as a sexual object. Sue William Silverman tells of her roller-coaster life of sex and self-destructive behavior. Finally, addicted to danger itself, she seeks the help of a trusted therapist to discover what love really means.

I found this memoir well-written and very moving. After suffering through the devastation of childhood incest, the author interpreted sex as love. A dangerous and scary place to be. Telling her most intimate secrets while documenting her therapy, I found the author's story of recovering from sex

addiction sad, touching, and sometimes shocking. Apparently, while writing this book, she still had a relationship with her parents, which is unthinkable to me. I will see if Ms. Silverman has written more on that subject in another book.
