Resolve: A Story of Courage, Healthy Inquiry and Recovery from Sibling Sexual Abuse - Paperback

by Alice Perle (Author), Matthew Earsman (Editor), Nada Backovic (Designed by)

Resolve is a carefully written and trauma aware book addressing the often hidden reality of sibling sexual abuse. Blending lived experience with research and reflection, Alice Perle offers an honest, accessible and compassionate account of harm that is rarely spoken about and frequently misunderstood. Written with restraint and sensitivity, the book avoids sensationalism, focusing instead on the impacts of abuse and the long term effects of silence, shame and self-blame. Resolve supports adult survivors to feel seen, validated and less alone in experiences many have carried quietly for years. It also offers families, partners and professionals insight into the relational patterns, risks and warning signs that can exist beneath sibling harm. Grounded, thoughtful and hopeful without promising simple resolution, Resolve contributes to awareness, prevention and the possibility of more honest conversations about a deeply taboo form of abuse.
