I am a 50-year-old lady living currently in the UK.
My childhood was one of neglect and abuse. In 2011 - aged 40, I saw my father in court, he was sentenced through trial to 16 years in prison. Last year I published my memoir - Tell me you’re sorry, Daddy, which tells the story of my childhood and how I overcame so much to fight for justice.

I wrote my story with the help of best selling ghostwriter Linda Watson-Brown and it made the Sunday Times bestsellers list after just two weeks. It hit number 1 in two Amazon categories and has been translated into French, Swedish, German and Dutch.

In September 2019 I won the courage category of the Liverpool Echo Awards, this left me humbled and proud. I am honored to be able to help other victims of child abuse and I will never stop.

The book has been a roller coaster of emotions but is helping me to rid myself of my demons.
The motivation behind my book has been my late sister Jenny, and my desire to help other people who have been through similar experiences.

I took a perpetrator to court, after 30 years and with no real evidence other than my voice and I secured a 16-year conviction.

This is my message:
‘If you only have your voice, you have your voice and it is powerful’

Thank you for reading.
