• Memory Slips: A Memoir of Music and Healing
  by Linda Katherine Cutting
  ISBN 0-06-018730-1
  "What survivors want is to go beyond their trauma into healing. Linda Cutting's understated reserve and dignity in the way she tells her story are very special. This is a subject that's been sensationalized, but this wonderful book is not about an issue - it's a human story. I stayed up all night reading it and couldn't put it down."
  - Ellen Bass, coauthor of The Courage To Heal
