Love Affair ReviewAs an advocate for sex abuse and incest survivors for the past 28 years, and the author of "Invisible Girls: The Truth About Sexual Abuse", I feel compelled to review this book. First let me say that I am sorry for the suffering that Leslie Kenton has endured, and I am pleased for her that she has a career now and is blessed to be a mother. I am also sorry to write a negative review of a book for any incest survivor. But..... This book goes into great detail of brutal rapes, starting at age 10. Also much verbal and even physical abuse at the hands of her father. After the details of the sex abuse and the relationship Ms. Kenton states many of the common symptoms of incest survivors, for example loss of time memory, poor sleeping patterns, self loathing, self splitting, dissociation, self doubt, and suicidal feelings. She then goes on to say how much she loves her father. She dedicates the book to him: "For Stanley, With All My Love". She even states how she felt at ages 10 and 11 years old : "I was pursued by feelings of shame. I sensed a mounting darkness threatening to drown me. I kept trying to fight it off before it could swallow up my life. I didn't realise it at the time, but I had taken on my shoulders all the blame, fear, anger and shame that belonged to my father." She then goes on to say how much she loves him, how he loves her. She talks about a helix of "simple love", she describes vacations away with her father, sharing hotel rooms when she was a pre adolescent, a young teen. She talks about how he is the most talented, charismatic person she knows. She describes the incest world in their relationship as 'inexpressible' as a 'world of joy and deep feeling and aliveness'.
There is very little introspection here as to why it is appropriate to hate your incest father -there is little to no permission for the incest survivor to be totally angry at her father, to break all ties, to blame him for her abuse totally. There is no talk about how he was totally at fault. He was totally wrong. So many incest survivors have worked so hard to have the right to take away any self blame. This book puts us all back. It puts the survivor in a place where she should be responsible to 'help' her father, to 'love' her father. And certainly the author NEVER discusses turning him in, reporting him for his crimes. No she calls her book "Love Affair". This is not a book that supports incest survivors. I believe this is a dangerous book.Love Affair Overview
