Von der hinteren Coverseite

'In many ways we were an ordinary family: mum, dad, two kids, three dogs, one rabbit, two guinea pics ... But I never for a moment dreamt that my family was all that extraordinary - until that day when Tamsin broke down and told me that her father, my loving husband, had been sexually abusing you.'

This is a heartbreaking story of a daughter abused by the father she loved; a mother's account of how her family was betrayed by the system that should have protected them. But it is also about the resilience to survive and move forward. In the face of the greatest betrayal of all, three shattered lives must be rebuilt, piece by painful piece.
