Book Description

12 April 2012

Joyce, June and Paula Kavanagh were three sisters born to a family of ten in Ballyfermot, Dublin in the 1960s. Their father abused all three of them in the family home throughout their childhood. In 1989, the sisters made the brave decision to bring charges against their father and, in 1990, the state took a successful case against him. He was convicted and imprisoned.

Click, Click is the story of their abuse; the exposure of a man prolific in his paedophilia; and an Irish childhood lost in a dysfunctional, abusive and torturous environment. Importantly, however, it is also the story of three women's healing; their coming to terms with their abuse, and their forgiveness of themselves and others.

The Kavanagh sisters have refused to allow their abuse to define them. With fierce humour, insight and honesty, they now share their story and show that with love and determination, you can indeed conquer all.

"Click, Click" by Joyce, June, & Paula Kavanagh with Marian Quinn.

Wow. The most raw honesty I can remember ever reading and I read a lot!
You will cry, that is for sure but you will also laugh out loud and your heart will feel warm, especially as you get closer to the end. I don't want to sugar coat it, there are extremely horrific facts in this book. I mean these sisters went through some of the worst physical, mental, and emotional abuse you might have ever heard. However that makes their healing journeys, each a bit different, all the more powerful and so inspiring!
The book itself has a very descriptive writing style, the reader is easily transported into many of the scenes with the ladies, especially in recent days where you can taste all that tea and smell the smoke-filled kitchen while they all chat. As a reader you are there and feel like you really were with them in the room for each step of their healing journey as they became adults. So it's an easy read, you will probably read it in one or two sittings.
...
It would have been enough just for these sisters to say they survived their abuse but they have so far surpassed and moved beyond their past torture. What these women have achieved in their lives, not just their own loving families but their relationships, educations, careers, and now this book is an inspiring story for everyone, not only other victims. They have decided to share their darkest secrets and really "put it all out there" in order to let others realize the power of inner strength, different styles of growing, moving on, not being defined by your past and most important that life can get better for anyone who is or has really suffered.
I recommend reading it with a friend at the same time because you are DEFINITELY going to need to discuss it with someone while you are reading!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Shockingly tragic but sadly it goes on. 11 May 2012
By Bev
Format:Paperback
I do not usually read this type of book because reading for me is escapism and would rather read light hearted rom coms or fiction. But after seeing the Kavanagh sisters on This morning I felt as though I was turning a blind eye to a cause that needs a voice so I bought it. To sum it up in a few words, Tragic, Shocking, Inspirational, Funny. Give it ago, you will fall in love with these women as you begin to get to know them and it also gives you a sense of relief to know that they survived and achieved so much more than they believed they ever could.

5.0 out of 5 stars A truly life-affirming story 11 May 2012
By ccasey7
Format:Paperback
This is one of the most moving and inspiring books I have ever read. It is a beautifully written story of the journey of the three sisters from being helpless victims to powerful women that everybody should read. It is a testament to the power of siterhood, of community and, ultimately, of love. I can't recommend it strognly enough - I found it really boosted my faith in humanity and helped me to more deeply appreciate the good things in my own life. You can't beat that!
