The Ropes That Bind will debut on August 16 on The Women’s Fiction Writers Assiciation Facebook page. You don’t have to be a member to attend. I’m a friend of Tracy’s from Harvard where we studied mind-body medicine. She’s a sweetheart and I’m really proud of her.

Tracy Stopler’s book, “The Ropes That Bind,” is insightful, humorous, and inspirational. The serious subject of child sexual abuse is given the important treatment it deserves, not silence. I was totally engaged in the story; and I could not put the book down. I experienced many emotions. I was angry. I was frustrated. I was sad. I was happy. I laughed. I cried. I was jubilant! I think everyone should read this book, because I believe each reader would learn a valuable lesson in life.

What a beautiful and inspiring debut novel by Tracy Stopler! As a result of such a traumatic experience, Tali was able to learn and grow from it and develop into a wise and compassionate soul, ultimately caring for her fellow sexual abuse victims. How lucky for those who Tracy interacts with to have her to stand beside them. This book was a wonderful read for my book club- we all loved it and having Tracy join us was the icing on the cake. Thank you to Tracy for writing this and sharing her story with us.

In her debut novel, author Tracy Stopler tells the harrowing story of 8-year-old Tali Stark’ s trauma of sexual abuse by a stranger, and gives voice to many other survivors of similar experiences.
The book presents a gripping story of fear, anger, shame and courage, told in a frank and engaging manner. It is well worth the read.
