Wow, what a truly harrowing read but one that is absolutely worthy of telling. Tara recounts the most awful childhood abuse (of all kinds) throughout this book and how that impacted on her life then, as she grew and her life now. Childhood abuse lasts a lifetime, however Tara's decision in adulthood to face what happened to her head on helped to ensure that the perpetrator of the sexual abuse she experienced got the justice he rightly deserved. It would have been good to hear a bit more about how her siblings were, as all of the children would have been significantly impacted by the abuse and neglect in the home. On a personal note I was heartened to see that Tara's experiences of midwives and the health visitors she encountered were mostly positive and supportive. Thank you for sharing your story with the world Tara and I wish you well.
