PRAISE FOR HUSH HUSH:

" Kudos to the Peterson family, along with DeShannon, for serving as a mirror to show us how we fall short when it comes to providing our children with the information they need."

Lori Robinson, Author of I Will Survive: The African-American Guide to Healing from Sexual Assault and Abuse

"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."

Dr. Thema Bryant-Davis, Assistant Professor of Psychology at Pepperdine University and Author of Thriving in the Wake of Trauma: A Multicultural Guide

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Our limited understanding of sexuality is what author, DeShannon Bowens, believes has led to the misunderstanding, repression and abuse of sexuality. Hush Hush 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?
