From the No.1 bestselling author Toni Maguire comes a new true story of abuse and survival.
Gerry was just a young girl when she first fell victim to the abuse of her father. His evil deeds were followed by abuse from her local priest, orchestrated by her father. After her mother discovered the abuse and realized there was nothing she could do to help her child, she took her own life. Gerry and her siblings were separated and placed in different foster homes, all knowing they would likely never see each other again. Told that her mother had committed a grave sin, her foster parents were far from kind to her. She experienced years of loneliness, feeling completely abandoned.
The abuse Gerry endured was so severe that it required an operation to repair the damage her body had suffered. When asked who or what had been responsible, she pointed the finger at the priest. However, in her small northern town in the 60s, where everyone believed a priest took his orders directly from God, her claims were not believed.
After finally meeting her kind and caring husband a few years ago and celebrating her 60th birthday, Gerry decided it was time for her story to be told. This is her true story of survival.
