Suzy Has a Secret by S. Jackson with A. Raymond is a children’s story about educating them on self awareness and inappropriate behavior. The story is simple and easy to read to children. It’s important to allow children the opportunity to learn what should and should not be done to them by family members. Suzy did not like the game of tickling that Uncle Bob played with her when her parents weren’t around. Suzy did not want to keep the secret from her parents, but Uncle Bob made her feel that she couldn’t tell anyone about the way he touched her. Although the story is short, it has a powerful message because all children should know the importance of not allowing anyone, young or old, to touch their bodies.

Children have a right to be happy and understand what should not be happening when Mommy and Daddy aren’t around. The portion of the story designed for Parents and Educators was a good read because it reaffirmed that children have the right to know that their private areas are off limits, and that when playing no one should ever touch those areas. When dealing with children, it’s important to ensure they understand at an early age that they can talk to their parents about anything and not be scared. Abusers use manipulation when abusing children to keep them from telling their parents, that’s why parents need to have a strong bond with their children to make them feel comfortable. One thing I learned is that you should not ask a lot of questions if you suspect abuse, but rather ask simple questions for the best and most reliable answers.

This book shows in positive and practical ways how parents, and educators, can talk to children about personal safety. Children learn about bad touch and good touch, and how their body belongs to them. Parents and educators can help children learn who the safe people are in their lives, and that they can always tell one of them about anything that may happen, and they aren’t comfortable about. Using little bug fairies and fairy houses, ensures that children aren’t scared when this story is read to them, or they read it on their own. Included at the back of the book is a section for adults, parents, and educators. As a mother, and as a nurse, this book strikes me to my core, regarding the importance of this topic.

I have just read Outshine: An Ovarian Cancer Memoir by Karen Ingalls. My review follows the author’s book blurb found on Amazon.

“When Karen Ingalls was diagnosed with Stage IIC ovarian cancer, she realized ho little she knew about what is called “the silent killer.” As Ingalls began to educate herself she felt overwhelmed by the prevalent negativity of cancer. Lost in the information about drugs, side effects, and statistics, she redirected her energy to focus on the equally overwhelming blessings of life, learning to rejoice in each day and find peace in spirituality. In this memoir, Karen is a calming presence and positive companion, offering a refreshing perspective of hope with the knowledge that “the beauty of the soul, the real me and the real you, outshines the effects of cancer, chemotherapy, and radian. It is a story of survival and reminds readers that disease is not an absolute, but a challenge to recover.”

I found Outshine to be quite inspirational in nature. Whenever one hears the ‘Big C’ from their doctor, a maelstrom of emotions start flying. Ingalls’ story is rife with hope, faith, love, and sorrow. I felt that there wasn’t much substance of the anger side of a diagnosis such as hers, and I had expected a little more on this side so that her true humanity would spring forth. For the most part, Ingalls’ went for the positives, and that makes this book more inspirational. God is present in abundance as well as a support system in place – so necessary when one is fighting this kind of disease. I honestly think I felt envious of what Ingalls’ had at her disposal when my son and I had nothing when we had our cancer battles. I didn’t have one home let alone two, we didn’t have money for expensive special nutrient rich drinks and such, and I’m glad the author had that, so I’m not sure what my real emotions are in relation to this. Having been dirt poor, and still living just above the poverty level, I felt like those with money could buy things to help them get well and maintain strength while those without the means had to suffer – so I think I felt true envy. I’m not happy that I felt that emotion, and I’m glad I no longer feel it. I always give an honest review and withholding my thoughts wouldn’t be honest. I am human after all. This book is well written and highly recommended this book.
