Nobody Heals Alone

It’s possible not just to survive child sexual abuse but to thrive in response to it. In Ava Jo Avery Jo Flynn explores how shame and secrecy perpetuate sexual violence, how hatred is at the core of all abuse, and that love is the only thing that can heal it. Ava Jo offers valuable insights for survivors of child sexual abuse, their families and friends, communities, and the mental health professionals who care for them.

People are capable of horrendous acts of violence against each other, even children. The hate, fear, and anger we can carry toward one another is bottomless. So too is the love, courage, and compassion we can feel and demonstrate. Each of us is on a journey whose goal is to choose which path we will follow: the path of love, courage, and compassion or the path of fear, anger, and hate. Each of us must make that choice every second of every day and over a lifetime. Reading Ava Jo is one step along the path of love courage, and compassion.
