About this audiobook
Evil walked in...
From No.1 bestselling author Toni Maguire comes a new true story of abuse and survival - written in aid of NSPCC, with a portion of the royalties being donated to the charity.
Gerry was only a young girl when she was first abused by her father. After her mother found out, and believing there was nothing she could do to help her child, nor deal with the stigma attached to it in their small Northern Irish town in the 1960s, she committed suicide.
Gerry and her siblings were split up and placed in different foster homes, all knowing they were unlikely to see each other ever again. Told that her mother had committed a grave sin, Gerry was completely alone and abandoned as she confronted even more horrors from her past.
After years of shame and isolation, she finally met a man who would help her heal the wounds she had been left with. With his love and support, Gerry decided it was time for her story to be told.
Why, Father? is her true and moving story of survival.
