One of the best and more horrific 'children's books' I've ever read .... And it's funny too ... one of those must-haves "More Than Once Upon a Time” is a dark and empowering tale of abuse and recovery. Betsy Salkind writes in the voice of a child but with the perspective of an adult, about a topic kids can't possibly comprehend when they're little. This is what makes the book so brilliant. It imagines what children would say, if they could - in language blissfully free of the multi-syllabic stuff we tend see in adult books that try to accomplish in hundreds of pages what this book does in a couple dozen". --Wendy J. Murphy
I'm not supposed to see it, but I did, and I don't see what the big deal is. We already know what goes on. Who are they protecting? Not the children, that's for sure. It might be 'fiction', but it's more truthful than the history books we're forced to read at school. --Ethel Spiliotes, 5th grade
“This book should be sent to every home in the world to wake people up to the reality of what too many children are dealing with. Of course, some people would be insulted. But if it wakes even one more person up about the horrors of child sexual abuse, it’s worth a few rejections. You go, Betsy—tell it like it is for kids that are being molested!” --Kathleen Brooks, Ph.D.
I can't wait to tell EVERYONE about your book! It's the smartest damn thing I've read in AGES. -- Celesta Davis |
