The author was blissfully unaware of the existence of incest and its debilitating effects until well into his marriage. The incest victim, his wife, often went to great lengths to preserve this secret. Even when the signs of incest became obvious, the victim would not admit them, and thus no corrective action could be taken.
This book was written to give the reader insight into how incest occurs, how to recognize the symptoms, and how to take remedial action.
