"In Out of the Victim Box, Paula Goldman brings a much-needed gentle voice of support and a guiding hand out of what can feel like an impossible-to-escape trap. Through her own stories and knowledge, along with other experiences of healing and recovery, Paula shows a path forward out of the darkness of abuse. Everyone still must take their own steps, of course. But this book and Paula's generosity in sharing her life provide both a starting point and a glimpse of the peace that is possible on the other side."

Out of the Victim Box... A Teaching Memoir and Beacon of Hope
Paula Goldman's courageous journey from the confinements of The Victim Box is a beacon of hope and healing for all who've experienced the pain of childhood sexual abuse. In this poignant teaching memoir, she fearlessly shares her story and the stories of others who have faced the darkness of abuse in its various forms.
Paula's seventy-four years in The Victim Box were challenging, and the decision to write this book was not without its pain. However, it was necessary to share the truth, hope, and invaluable lessons she's learned along the way.
These narratives are far from sugar-coated; they're raw, real, and unapologetic-because it's time to stop sweeping the issue of sexual abuse under the rug. It's time to recognize its significance and focus on healing. Through Paula's experiences, she offers guidance on healing-not just surviving, but truly coming alive.
Every word in this book resonates with love, as the author calls upon the Angels to bless and protect you as you embark on your own path to healing. With this book, you are invited into a deeper sense of trust and gratitude for your unique journey.
