Free Excerpt From The Book (requires Adobe Acrobat Reader) Our limited understanding of sexuality is what author, DeShannon Bowens, believes has led to the misunderstanding, repression and abuse of sexuality. In Hush Hush, Bowens explores sexuality and sexual abuse through a collection of personal interviews with the Peterson family. Insightful, humorous and at times painfully honest, the adults in the Peterson family urge each of us to look at ourselves, the environment in which we were raised and the importance of elevating sexuality to a level of sacredness for the sake of our families and communities. The book examines the following questions:What thoughts and beliefs give rise to the way we express our sexuality? Where did our sexuality thoughts and beliefs come from? Does sexuality programming and conditioning help support a culture that seldom breaks the silence surrounding child sexual abuse in families? According to author and psychology professor, Dr. Thema Bryant-Davis, “This collection of interviews will leave you thinking more deeply about your experiences, thoughts and feelings regarding sexuality. The stories told in Hush Hush can inspire readers to make more informed choices in the ways they approach intimacy, parenting and mental health.”
