A Matter of Time Nancy Rae

A male is sexually assaulted somewhere in the world every day. Whether he's a child, a teenager, or an adult, the victim suffers stigma, pain, and a deep longing to forget the cruelty inflicted upon him. He finds himself haunted by recurring memories, nightmares, even flashbacks triggered by events as trivial as a single sound. A Matter of Time is a fictional portrayal of a very real world in the shadows where one man tries to cope with feelings of shame and the devastating loss of self-esteem. Those finding their way out of the shadows are called "survivors". Fearful of rejection, afraid to show emotion, yet needing to open up to release the pain, the survivor's greatest need is for love, patience and kind words - from someone who will be there in the dark hours when memories come flashing back. Perhaps that 'someone' is you.
