Based on original research with self-identified paedophiles in the community, this book challenges assumptions and destroys the sacred cows of both radical and conservative thinking on paedophilia and sexuality. Offering a humane and inspiring vision, the book goes beyond previous thinking to develop an inclusive new approach.
'Absolutely stunning - nothing like it anywhere. Sarah's work contains both a wealth of information (unique in its reach and solidity) and a balanced sanity and subtlety of thinking. She provides a careful investigation of a range of issues that ordinarily never have a chance to settle, much less present a clear pattern, before they are scattered in gusts of self-righteous hysteria. Absolutely wonderful, powerhouse work.'
- James Kincaid, author of, Child-Loving: The Erotic Child and Victorian Literature and Erotic Innocence: The Culture of Child Molesting
'Sarah's work is important and confronts us all with the uncomfortable fact that people with a sexual interest in children do not fit many of the convenient stereotypes that we have all played a part in generating. The conclusion is that we cannot help children unless we acknowledge these truths.'
