The Enemy Between My Legs is a testimony of an author who was sexually abused growing up as a child. The pages that follow the attention grabbing cover are as bold as its catchy title. Author Stephanie L. Jones puts it out there. She shares testimonies of how she was left to fend for herself in a household that was oblivious to what was going on. Jones illustrates
what the lasting effects of sexual child abuse are. How it shapes the thought process of victims even into adolescence. After reading this book,
I was amazed at how easy predators get to their victims. Often times by their own family.
Stephanie L. Jones spends the first half of the book telling her interesting, but yet painful story. The other half of the book educates us on the mindset, and manipulative strategies of unlikely candidates who commit this kind of abuse. She also demonstrates to her readers how innocent ‘situations’, can be the loss of innocence period. Jones’ book is gutsy and preventive, urging readers to read, “Before you let your child
“spend the night” anywhere else.” – – Or “Before you say my husband will never touch my child.”
Written with biblical solutions, I highly recommend this book to your library. Not only for those who are victims of child abuse, but for those hoping to prevent or learn the patterns of it.
