Je n'avais que onze ans
“I want to lift
the mask to “unrape” me. I know that he will read
me because sometimes he feels guilty. He says that he was “a
little clumsy”. He only let out a little bit of
sperm”. Sexually assaulted from the age of 11 by one of the
educators in charge of his protection at the children resource center,
Jacques Benoit breaks the silence to testify about his
drama’s horror.
Book vibrating with authenticity written in the style of a diary, Je n’avais que onze ans is one more testimony showing that sexual abuse is an act of power and violence. The author also denounces the inaction of counsellors in respect of the aggressors’ denunciation. “I hope this book, filled with emotions and well-written, will encourage many youngsters to defend themselves adequately against deceptions instead of becoming a victim or an accomplice”. Alice Miller, psychotherapist and author. Written by

L'inévitable
A novel inspired by real
events.
“…it is not a story about a whale being trampled
on, but
that of a child being trampled on over and over again by an
adult”.
Very good reviews about L’inévitable makes it a “must read” work mostly vis-à-vis the debated notion of “pleasure and climax felt during sexual abuse”. To read if you are ready to consider the abuse under a new dimension. Written by

Père manquant,
fils manqué : que sont les hommes devenus ?
This book does not deal
directly with sexual abuse and its consequences, but about the silenced
imposed on men in general by modern society. A man does not cry, he
takes on… little by little, these silences kill our
authenticity, our will to live, and it isolates us. This book finally
(!) breaks this silence and enlightens us in the abyss of the famous
question “what is being a man?”
