Ron Sheppard is known as Britain's most married man. People often ask him why he has been down the aisle eight times. For half a century he has hidden a frightening secret that ruined his childhood and blighted his adult relationships. Ron suffered years of sexual abuse at the hands of a family 'friend' - a local businessman and respected councillor. Silenced with threats, he told no one, not his parents, friendsor his wives. Hand picked at age nine by his abuser simply for being a child from a poor family, his Sunday afternoon ordeals were rewarded with pocket money and food parcels. Later Ron forged a career as a blue coat entertainer and Sir Norman Wisdom's tour manager, while he turned to women for comfort. As his marriages failed one by one he wondered if would ever face his past and be happy. Some light dusting to fore-edge; else a near fine copy of a SCARCE first edition SIGNED BY RON SHEPPARD.
