"If Roses Were Blue is an adventure story gently based on the author's experience and insights of child sexual abuse. Chris, a college student, decides to tell her story to a group of young children, one of whom she knows is keeping a terrible secret, a secret that Chris had also kept at that age. With tenderness and insight she takes the reader back several years to a decision that sparked a series of rescues, including her own! A lady of light, a boy named Gus, and a stolen dog add to this delightful tale of courage, trust, and friendship. At the end of her story, the children ask Chris about her actions and feelings - the same questions readers would ask. And there is a More From The Author section about the book, the topic, and some helpful resources. If Roses Were Blue brings a magical and comforting approach to a sensitive issue while reminding survivors they are not alone, there is help, and that they are truly lovable and worthwhile. It's a smile for the survivor's soul (ages 8 and above)."--Amazon.
