Pinky Promise

Pinky Promise is a powerful and thought-provoking new book by photographer Pierre Crocquet about childhood sexual abuse and healing. The book, which accompanies an exhibition of the same name, enters difficult and risky terrain, and breaks new ground by including the stories of victims and perpetrators of child sexual abuse. Three intense years of photography and frank interviews with the participants in the project - five victims and three perpetrators - are distilled into seven extraordinary stories of abuse, survival, and healing. Pinky Promise presents these stories with sensitivity, a robust stance on sexual offences, and a desire to understand a social ill that has become alarmingly prevalent in our society.
