How Little We Knew: Collusion and Confusion with Sexual Misconduct

Rating:
Summary: How Little We Knew by Dee Miller
Review: Dee Miller did an excellent job in capturing the emotions that a victim of clergy sexual misconduct goes through with this excellent book. In her honesty about the horrific sitiuation that she, herself had to endure at the hands of her perpetrator and then that of the governing church body, was emotional but yet educational. This is a must read for all church leaders, regardless of denomination. It becomes an educational tool when one sees how a situation was so very mishandled, but then can learn from these devastating mistakes. Yet it becomes an even more powerful book of suppport for fellow clergy sexual misconduct victims, when one may very well see written on paper, the emotions he/she may be feeling as well. Ms. Miller is able to articulate on paper, what other survivors may have been experiencing as well regardless of the denomination. A must read for clergy sexual misconduct victim/survivors and for all leaders of any faith communities.

Summary: Dee Ann Miller's How Little We Knew
Review: Dee Miller's book, How Little We Knew was an excellent book for a survivor of clergy sexual misconduct, to read. She was able to be painfully honest with her own feelings in dealing with the sexual abuse from a fellow missionary. In doing so, she gives the reader permission to do likewise, perhaps in the reader's own painful realization that she has been abused. This topic is one, that few dare touch. This author was courageous and painted a real picture of the reality, but yet the further betrayel that can occur after the disclosure. Ms.Miller articulates so clearly, the feelings of helplessness, dispair, but then one that can eventually lead to empowerment. I applaud Dee Miller for having the courage to name the problem, clergy sexual misconduct and to share her pain so that others can learn from it.
