Why!!!!

About the Book

Why!!!! There are many questions that I needed answering... Being the victim of Child Sex Abuse, I have undergone a very personal and very painful healing process.

Now... a Woman, a Mother and someone who now knows, that despite the years of holding my head in shame and disgust, I can now hold my head high and scream out to everyone that I... I Lhayla Herds has eventually been set free.

Set free of all my pain, heartache, feelings and often utter despair, that many victims feel through their journey of healing.

WHY!!!! Was written to explain to people, whether they are curious, or indeed a victim of abuse themselves, unsure where to turn and what to expect. You will not only be able to be part of my memories, dreams and flashbacks but have the chance to be able to read Diary Extracts, Statements and Social Worker Reports, all collated from original documents of a twelve year old girl in care.

Whilst I was approaching all possible hurdles to be able to both heal myself and write WHY!!!! For others, it became apparent that "I was right" My mother was an Accomplice to my abuse, from which I had been subjected to, by my Step Father.

Where am I now?? Here to tell my entire story.

Where is my Mother?? "Still" living with this animal, after leaving me in care.

Where is "HE"?? Living the same life with my Mother, like nothing "Ever" happened, the same wife, the same village, the same job. Living in society, being able to mix with everyday people... everyday children!!

WHY!!!! Is this allowed to happen??

Help me... to Help others...

I hope that by reading WHY!!!! "YOU" can help me bring these people to justice...

WHY!!!! Should they be allowed to carry on their lives? ...Leaving so many in pain!
