《被盯上的男孩》【内容简介】
十三岁的斯蒂芬·米尔斯被他在犹太夏令营的营地主任特别关注,这位富有魅力的社工急于成为他的朋友。斯蒂芬的父亲在他四岁时去世,他将信任寄托在这位权威人物身上。这位社工先是诱骗他,然后在两年内性侵了他。斯蒂芬没有告诉任何人,但这场震荡猛烈地影响了他成年后的生活,与他的否认一样强烈:自我憎恨、药物滥用、轻微犯罪和可怕的噩梦,当他发现虐待者在各个州的夏令营中继续性侵其他男孩,情况更加恶化了。直到身心崩溃,斯蒂芬才直面童年的真相,并开始了艰难的复原之旅——以及一场长达数十年的斗争,旨在阻止连环性侵者,寻求正义,并让那些未能保护孩子们的责任人承担责任。

"The Boy Who Was Targeted" 【 Content Introduction 】
Thirteen-year-old Stephen Mills is given special attention by his camp director at a Jewish summer camp, a charismatic social worker eager to befriend him. Stephen's father died when he was four, and he placed his trust in this authority figure. The social worker seduced him and then sexually assaulted him over a two-year period. Stephen didn't tell anyone, but the shock violently affected his adult life as much as his denials: self-hatred, substance abuse, petty crime and horrible nightmares, worsened when he discovered that his abusers had continued to sexually abuse other boys at summer camps across states. It's only after a physical and mental breakdown that Stephen confronts the truth about his childhood and begins a difficult journey of recovery - and a decades-long fight to stop serial sexual abusers, seek justice, and hold those responsible for failing to protect his children accountable.
