Scarred

“Scarred is a transformational story of courageous recovery, offering solace and empowerment to trauma survivors. Join Clark on his heroic journey as he confronts his past traumas, inspiring readers to embrace self-acceptance and reclaim their lives. This gripping account serves as a beacon of hope, guiding readers to release shame and embrace resilience, just as it did for me.” —Gabrielle Bernstein, #1 New York Times Bestselling author, The Universe Has Your Back “Beautifully written… Clark Fredericks describes the pain and harm caused to a person over time when they are sexually assaulted as a child by a trusted adult, holding the pain inside, self-medicating with substances, loss of identity, broken relationships, depression and suicidal thoughts, and eventually snapping… Clark’s story reads like an unintended thriller, with a welcome ending.” —Dr. Leslie Dobson, clinical and forensic psychologist, author, and speaker “Heroic [and] poignant… Clark shows us how forbidden topics and the silencing of victims gives predators the freedom to continue their abuse…. Because of Clark’s amazing advocacy work, the veil of shame is being lifted for victims, particularly male victims, of sexual abuse. Because of this book, I’m certain victims will know they no longer have to suffer in silence and begin the healing journey.” —Dr. Christine M. Cocchiola, DSW, LCSW, coauthor of Framed

Clark Fredericks’ story has inspired major reform of the statutes that once severely limited the rights of child abuse victims to sue their abusers. He has been featured on CBS News, ABC News, in People, Los Angeles Times, and more. Now a popular motivational speaker, he remains an outspoken victim’s rights advocate. He lives in Westchester County, New York.
