Suzanne Stutman takes the reader through an enchanted world of poetry and prose in an intensely personal journey from the buried depths of child abuse through the labyrinth of remembrance to the dawn of adult healing. Stutman is an articulate and candid narrator of her own life, and Broken Feather is ultimately a testimony to the power of the human spirit to heal from the long suppressed wounds of child abuse.

Broken Feather is highly recommended reading for anyone dealing with the problems of overcoming child abuse legacies within themselves or their loved ones.

This book is a collective of poetic "lessons" and testimonies in which the author reveals the agony that most women have shared or will experience at some point in their lives. It addresses heartache, headache and soul searching in simple, but strong verses. It's a poetic rendition on marriage and relationships that modern women will enjoy and identify with. Most importantly, this collection is inspiring for the woman who finds herself in the valley after a bad experience. "Survival" is the underlying theme.

In Cabin Six is a powerful collection of poems written by adult male survivors of childhood sexual abuse. This striking anthology provides the reader with a deeper and more personal understanding of the devastating impact of sexual abuse on men in all areas of their lives.
