Public acknowledgment of child sexual abuse (CSA) is often silenced, reflecting geographic and social boundaries that limit collective responsibility to survivors. This paper examines CSA through two novels, Celia’s Song by Lee Maracle and Cereus Blooms at Night by Shani Mootoo, focusing on how place, colonial histories, and more-than-human relationships shape healing. Literature offers a powerful lens for exploring CSA's emotional and cultural dimensions, providing insights into survivors' and communities' experiences that may be overlooked in traditional methods of inquiry. Through a comparative analysis, this paper considers the geographic contexts of both novels, examining the intersections of CSA, colonization, and the disconnection between human communities and their more-than-human kin. This paper also explores how the narratives within Celia’s Song and Cereus Blooms at Night highlight the importance of witnessing and how human responses to sexual violence vary according to geographic and cultural contexts. While Western paradigms neglect the role of more-than-human worlds in healing, both novels advocate for an integrative approach, blending Indigenous knowledge with contemporary practices. These texts suggest that geographic place and relationality—between human and more-than-human communities—are essential in the aftermath of CSA. Though traumatic, sexual abuse can become a source of strength when communities, shaped by place and collective responsibility, engage in restorative reflection and redirection. By reconsidering the role of place and nature in healing, the novels offer a framework for rethinking health and recovery in CSA, emphasizing the interconnectedness of all communities in restoring well-being.
