Originally Published in 1992. A second edition was published in 1993 entitled, Paperdolls: A True Story of Childhood Sexual Abuse in Mormon Neighborhoods.
As Carol Scott writes in the epilogue for Paperdolls & Cowboy Boots:, "THE SUCCESS OF PAPERDOLLS over the years is an indication to April and me of how hungry many people are for true accounts of child abuse. We expected to receive declamations that our story was too bizarre to be true, but there have been none. Instead, we received many responses saying," This could be my story."
