Child Abuse
I kept my secret for eight years. For eight years I suffered in silence through the horrors of my own personal Hell. I endured close to a decade of rage, tears and ultimately self-destruction. The memories are nauseating, the shame unparalleled. The trauma didn't stop when my abuse did.
My husband was the first to tell me that Karly had been murdered. I knew in that very moment that I would write my book. I also knew doing so would enrage her mother, who was like a daughter to me. I'm not denying she had a right to be upset.
