"This deeply personal book cries out with the pure ring of authentic experience, with all its raggedness, courage and pain, and bears testimony to others who preserved their precious selves and sanity by dividing as many times as they had to. Ms. Cline's voice becomes a doorway to all suffering children who must stay silent."
"There are scenes that are absolutely captivating, like the confrontation of [Jean's] mother by her four daughters, which is a study in family dynamics done entirely in social interchange. And, of course, what makes Silencing the Voices so fascinating is that it's true."
