Rape by Candlelight

About the Book

The term “rape” is used to describe negative and forceful actions. The term “Rape by Candlight” is intended to help individuals to readjust to the real world through the beauty of literature and verse. Much of the poetry in this book is designed to give the physically and the mentally molested individual a sense of self worth. It does so with a deep and genuine understanding of what the victim has suffered. It further teaches these special human beings how to powerfully love themselves and how to maintain a healthy sexual attitude as they enter the wonderful world of adulthood.
