Fire of the Five Hearts

In stark, elegant prose, Holly Smith presents an unflinching account of her work with victims of incest, a crime that affects one in five children, and immerses readers in the grueling details of her tiny patients' lives, punctuating the accounts with her own range of emotions: disgust, shock, anger, guilt, joy at victory tempered by sadness of innocence lost.
