About the Author

I sincerely and honestly try to describe in my book, the emotional and severe traumas, together with fear, bruatlity, and sexual abuse, suffered at the hands of others, during the course of my childhood. I also describe the anguish and frustration at not being able to tell anyone, because there was no one there to tell. The thoughts of never being believed, if given the chance to tell, was tormenting and unbearable.

Not being able to communicate with the outside world in the way that I would have liked to, added to the frusterations, leading to the feeling of being indoctrinated, without realising it, and acceptance that in reality, this must be the way of the world.

While the book portrays a lot about evil, it also shows the opposite, in true kindness, compassion, and humanity. I know that there are many around the world who would relate to my book, with their own experiences in similarity. And who even today have never reavealed the suffering they endured as children. I sincerely hope that those unfortunates, find the courage, by reading this book, to reveal to others, all that they too have suffered.

The release of torment from the back of the mind, helps to give you back the life of the soul.
