Being a victim of sexual abuse does not make one a sexual predator but Bernard
Amador presents a case in which it almost does.  This is a boldly told coming of age story
about how a boy tries not to become a sexual predator.  Amador's treatment in presenting
the subject matter is serious yet inspirational. The main theme of his new book
To Know A
Fallen Angel
is the ability to triumph over the lasting effects of sexual abuse. The book
explains what happened to the mind of a sexually abused child and takes its readers on an
expedition through the mind of a sexual predator, as the story of a young boy’s life unfolds
from chapter to chapter. This book gives readers honest insight into the reality of sexual
abuse, and the mind of a sexual predator.       
      To Know A Fallen Angel is a wake up call for those who focus on world terrorism while neglecting the terror children are
experiencing locally every day at the hands of sexual predators. The reader journeys along with Michael as he escapes from
an abusive household by using school as a refuge and as he manages to preserve a balanced morality until the abuse
becomes overwhelming and penetrates him physically and mentally. Readers too will find themselves like Michael, trying to
create a barrier in their minds between themselves and the abuse he encounters but will stop short of Michael's mental
breakdown.

      Through his character Michael, Amador launches his readers on a quest to understand Michael's abuser and his
developing self. Motivated by the desire to know the roots of his sexual abuse, Michael uses genealogical therapy to trace the
events of his youth. Along the way he discovers a typology of the sexual predator, and identifies different types of sexual
predators by classifying their methods, motivation and victimology.

     By identifying the type of predator that abused him, Michael discovers how he himself developed predatory behaviors and
ultimately understands how the mind of one type of sexual predator functions. With the identification of the root source of his
abuse, the motivations behind it and the victimology, the specific type of sexual predator is caught in the nominological net. By
understanding what has prevented him from perpetuating the same abuse on others Michael discovers possible treatment
methods for the sexual predator, one of the most difficult criminals to treat. In the end Michael triumphs over his abuse, the
urge to perpetuate it, and reconciles with his father to develop a relationship that was once lost.

like to have a “normal” relationship with his father. It also leads to the
