{"product_id":"2940013813724","title":"Betrayal and the Beast: One man's journey through childhood sexual abuse, sexual addiction and recovery!","description":"CEO and International Entrepreneur Reveals Sexual Abuse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen seven-year-old Peter Pelullo suffered multiple sexual-abuse attacks at the hands of two older neighborhood kids, no one in his 1950s middle-class world knew what to do. Everyone hoped he would just forget about it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut Pete couldn’t forget. Scarred and tormented, he started down a path of unremitting sexual promiscuity, headed toward a life devoid of intimacy. Eventually, he found success as the owner of a major recording studio and even worked with the Rolling Stones—but he was still emotionally lost. He lived half a life, masking his pain with prescription drugs, alcohol, work, and sex, and watched his family slip away from him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt would be almost five decades before he would address his childhood sexual abuse and come to grips with the betrayal he’d suffered and the beast it had created within him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Very few victims of sexual abuse are brave enough to come out and share their experiences. Peter’s extraordinary decision to go public will help people who have been sexually abused learn to heal and reclaim their lives.\"\u003cbr\u003e—Erin Merryn, author of Stolen Innocence and Living for Today\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Pelullo bares his soul in describing his spiritual journey of recovery and how he ultimately finds the power great enough to transform his life. No doubt there are thousands of men and women, probably millions, who could benefit from hearing Pelullo’s story of personal redemption.\" \u003cbr\u003e—Rabbi Shais Taub, author of God of Our Understanding: Jewish Spirituality and Recovery from Addiction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Strikingly honest, explicit, and revealing. Peter Pelullo provides a penetrating analysis of the relationship between childhood sexual victimization and subsequent compulsive sexual behavior. Then, with courage and candor, he recounts his journey of recovery—from facing his past and getting help to learning to love and care for himself, grow stronger with others, and heal his wounded family.\"\u003cbr\u003e—Wendy Maltz, LCSW, DST, author of The Sexual Healing Journey: A Guide for Survivors of Sexual Abuse","brand":"Only Serenity LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47145981903088,"sku":"2940013813724","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013813724_p0.jpg?v=1763595047","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013813724","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
