Dr. Novitskie has collaborated with Sherrie Allsup and Kevin P. Donaldson on a powerful and timely new book addressing the enduring stigma of childhood sexual abuse and the complex journey of surviving into adulthood.

 

"A Life Unfolding: Carrying the Secrets of Childhood Sexual Abuse," is scheduled for release in mid-2026. 

 

A Life Unfolding: Carrying the Secrets of Childhood Sexual Abuse offers a clinically informed and deeply compassionate exploration of secrecy, shame, resilience, and post-traumatic growth.

​

Drawing from professional expertise and lived experience, the book examines how early victimization shapes identity, relationships, and self-perception—and, importantly, how healing and meaning-making remain possible.

​

This work is designed to educate, inspire, and instill hope in those carrying the hidden burdens of childhood abuse, while also serving as a valuable resource for clinicians, advocates, and professionals working in trauma-informed spaces.

The book will be available through Amazon and major booksellers nationwide.
