Synopsis

Sexual abuse, sex and love and sadness.

This book is about my life. No child should live through what I did. What my stepfather did to me. It's about the good, the bad and the ugly. It is about a love story that everyone tried to break up. The love of my life. A long distance love affair. A family jail at home. I tried to get away, then ended up being mentally abused by his family, who were mean and hated me. Why did they attack me the way they did? In the end the love story ended sadly. Life can be so sad and mean.

Miss you, love you, Papa. God will look after you. And you're not dead yet. The last words he said to me were, "I still love you" as his family took him away from me and blocked me from seeing him. The love of my life, my children's dad. You will always be in my heart. I was always there for you. I still love you too.

About the Author

I was born in Waihi, New Zealand, and lived on farms all around the North Island. I had eight children. This is my first book, a story that just had to be told. The story is true, and I wanted to write it down to help me heal and move on with my life. I can look back on all the words people said to me so I will not forget the good, bad and ugly memories.
