Description
WRITTEN WITH SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR ANN CUSACK
Generations of abuse.
A murdered mother.
A daughter determined to get justice.
Growing up as one of eight children with drug abusers for parents, Tara has no choice but to learn to be self-reliant from a young age.
Despite her mother’s negligence, Tara remains fiercely loyal to her, even more so when she discovers the terrible sexual abuse she suffered as a child at the hands of her own father.
But when the same predator turns his attention to six-year-old Tara, a horrifying spiral begins and history repeats itself.
Her mother stayed silent and Tara keeps her own abuse and pain a secret too. Until one day an unimaginable tragedy changes everything.
Tara knows she can rely only on herself. Can she finally get justice for both of them?
