About Resolve
RESOLVE
A story of courage, healthy inquiry and recovery from sibling sexual abuse by Alice Perle
What this book is
Resolve is a memoir-informed guide that helps families recognise the often unseen realities that can exist between siblings, while also helping adult survivors understand that what they lived through was real, harmful and not theirs alone to carry.
Written with care, restraint and clarity, Resolve weaves lived experience with research and reflection to support understanding, prevention and recovery across the lifespan.
Who this book is for
This book has been written for:
- parents and caregivers who want to better understand sibling dynamics, risk factors and early warning signs
- adult survivors of sibling sexual abuse seeking validation, context and a sense of not being alone
- partners, family members and friends wanting to better understand how abuse can shape a life
- educators, counsellors and practitioners working with families and trauma-impacted adults
What makes Resolve different
- it focuses on sibling sexual abuse, one of the least discussed and least understood forms of intra-familial abuse
- it balances personal narrative with research, without sensationalism or graphic detail
- it is written to be safe to read, share and leave present in homes and professional spaces
- it speaks to prevention, understanding and recovery without blame or shock
How readers often encounter this book
Resolve is often discovered indirectly. Left on a coffee table. Passed between hands. Picked up when words have not yet been found. Its presence has opened conversations families had never had and helped survivors feel less alone in moments that matter.
Author note
Alice Perle writes from lived experience, with the intention of breaking silence without causing harm. This book was written to support awareness, prevention and healing for individuals and families, and to contribute thoughtfully to a conversation that has too often been avoided.
