Publisher's Summary

This is for the Other Child invites listeners into the often-silenced world of siblings who grew up in the shadow of child sexual assault. With raw authenticity and a deeply personal lens, the author—herself a sibling survivor—exposes the hidden emotional terrain that brothers and sisters navigate, torn between loyalty, silence, and their own unspoken pain.

But this book is more than a memoir. It’s written by someone who not only lived the reality she describes but who has also spent a decade guiding survivors and professionals through transformative healing. Her dual perspective as a survivor and a respected leader in trauma recovery makes this book both a personal narrative and a powerful advocacy tool. She doesn’t just tell a story—she gives voice to the “other” children, those whose silent battles demand recognition.

Through moving and unflinching storytelling, the author explores the long-lasting impact of childhood trauma on family dynamics and sibling relationships, shedding light on the often unseen scars carried into adulthood. Her words offer a path to healing for those still grappling with secrecy and the weight of a disrupted childhood.

Why should you listen to this book? It’s not just about understanding the hidden scars of those who stood in the shadows—it’s about empathy, awareness, and change. If you want to grasp the complex human side of trauma and support the journey of healing, This is for the Other Child is a must-listen for survivors, therapists, educators, and anyone ready to engage with the difficult truths of family and survival.

This book is a call to acknowledge the “other” children—the ones who were there all along, but never truly seen. It’s time to bring their stories to light.
