Dr. Hubbard opens her heart to share with us a beautifully written, touching, informative, and brutally honest book about the intricacies of having a father who was a sexual predator. ---AMY ZABIN, author of Conversations with a Pedophile Imagine having someone you've known your whole life, someone you've looked up to, tell you about a heinous crime they committed. This book provides understanding, forgiveness, and inner strength. ---JULIA LAZARECK, author of Prison: The Hidden Sentence(r) This is a sensitive and delicate subject that is seldom explored. It is a testament to Dr. Hubbard that she has the courage and willingness to share her journey with us. ---BARBARA ALLAN, author of Doing Our Time on the Outside and Founder: Friends and Family of Incarcerated Persons, Inc. This book will pave the way toward a deeper, nuanced understanding of criminal behavior (especially sexual offending) and its aftermath for readers of all stripes. ---J.J. PRESCOTT, University of Michigan Professor of Law Danica Hubbard, Ph.D., has taught for over 25 years as an English Professor at College of DuPage. She is a Prison Families Alliance Board Member and facilitates monthly support groups including "Support for Families of Sex Offenders." Sex Offender: My Father's Secrets, My Secret Shame is her first book.
Danica Hubbard and I have been close friends for over 15 years, yet I did not know her story until her father died. For decades she hid her father’s crimes due to the insurmountable pain, shame, and fear of being shunned. Thankfully, Danica realized her purpose is to share her incredibly personal story so that others like her no longer walk this lonely road alone. Danica’s book, written with unbelievable courage and forthright honesty, is a needed resource that will benefit countless people. It is a touching and gut-wrenching memoir. It is also an excellent resource for educators and students in the fields of criminology, social work, psychology, law, prison work, and hospice. Most importantly, family members of those who are incarcerated for child sexual abuse or related offenses will learn and grow from hearing how Danica coped with her father’s crimes and eventually found peace.
