YOU THE JURY
ALLEGATIONS OF SEXUAL ABUSE

Fifteen years after the alleged incident, Roberta Claire accuses Lloyd Adams, her stepfather, of sexual abuseññevents that have remained dormant in the recesses of her memory. Is this a case of recovered memory by a child victim of incest or a fantasy implanted by a therapist? This story is even more engrossing because it is fueled by the controversy surrounded by "recovered memories."

This books is unique among the many books about "recovered memories" because it presents both sides of the issue. Readers will get to "see" what really happens in a trialññand the reader is a juror. Which witness should be believed is up to the reader. It is a realistic challenge.
