Alex Sanchez dedicated this book "To the one in six boys and one in four girls". He is refering to current national statistics that say this is how many suffer childhood sexual abuse. Sanchez worked as a youth counselor and probation officer for years before becoming a writer, and his experiences are put to good use in Bait - writing a believable story of a high school boy who is struggling to move on to adulthood haunted by past abuse. Sanchez brings understanding and hope to a tough subject that is well worth thinking about. Read that dedication again.
