TELL ME YOU'RE SORRY, DADDY

A courageous account of a nightmare childhood, the subject of child abuse is utterly revolting and this is a powerful and emotional story of two scared little girls, one abusive father, and a child battering mother. Caryn Walker's story will break your heart about one man's horrific seven year campaign of abuse against her and also of the terrible life her elder sister Jenny experienced. Fighting for justice for her dead sister, over 30 years after the horrors began, Caryn Walker finally saw her father in court, charged with 24 counts of abuse against her. As he was jailed for 16 years for 'systematically raping' her, Caryn realised that she was the one who was strong - she was the survivor. In court she had to relive every detail in front of strangers but the outpouring of love from Elroy and her brothers is overpowering and will stay in your mind. No child should ever have to experience this - sometimes we live in a cruel world. 264pp, paperback.
