From No. 1 bestselling author Toni Maguire comes a new true story of abuse and survival

Gerri was only a young girl when she was first abused by her father. After her mother found out, and believing there was nothing she could do to help her child, nor deal with the stigma attached to it in their small Northern Irish town in the 1960s, she committed suicide.

Gerri and her siblings were split up and placed in different foster homes, all knowing they were unlikely to see each other ever again. Told that her mother had committed a grave sin, Gerri was completely alone and abandoned as she confronted even more horrors from her past.

After years of shame and isolation, she finally met a man who would help her heal the wounds she had been left with. With his love and support, Gerri decided it was time for her story to be told.

Why, Father? is her true and moving story of survival.

Contains mature themes.

My hrart just broke for Gerry while reading this book! The depravity and horrors that she survived is mind blowing! I just wanted to reach out and hug her younger self! And I can't help but feel rage and fury for her tormentors!
Congratulations Gerry, on overcoming what must have seemed like the insurmountable odds that were stacked against you! Becoming the lovely woman that you have obviously become was your best revenge for those that tried to squash your spirit!
Best wishes and God bless you my dear! Thank you for sharing your story! I'll never forget it!

Wow, what an incredible story!

Very well written. A definite page turner. The narrator was pretty good. I just have a hard time, listening to anyone pronounce a word that ends in D as if it ended in T.

Great read, sad story.
