“I was instantly drawn into this compelling and heartbreaking story. As a childhood sexual abuse survivor and a mother, I cried through the pages and could not put the book down. Silva gives a chilling account of the tactics sexual predators use to silence children. A Child’s Heart Speaks: Surviving Sexual Abuse serves as the voice for those children. The book points to the disturbing fact that sexual offenders are always protected, integrated into society, and allowed to hide—so they can commit their heinous and insidious crimes. Silva’s courage to trust herself and help her children, offers us all hope to believe in our instinctive ability to protect our families. This is a must read for any parent who wants to keep their children safe. You will cry, get angry and get active.”

“A Child’s Heart Speak” is a beautify written book. It is educational, yet also a heart felt story. This book is a must have for all survivors to see that they truly are not alone with their thoughts, as well as, for educators and caretakers to learn about the signs and how to help. Thank you Claire for sharing your family with the readers. Your book is a true gem.

I met Claire when she was still in elementary school. She has come so far with her career & family. When her mother told me Claire was thinking of adopting her husband's child, I was so happy for them. Now, I have tears rolling down my face. It took so much courage to write this book about her own family. Claire's parents are considered my best friends. And when I asked her mother about what happen, I was shocked and appalled. And I bought two more books to give to my family. I wanted them to know the other side of Claire. Claire is a wonderful woman, and deserves the best life can give. I believe there are special places in heaven for people like Claire. May she continue her courage and God bless her family.
