I Forgive You, Daddy [Paperback]

To the outside world, Lizzie McGlynn’s father was a model citizen. To little Lizzie he was a violent and depraved monster.

For years, Lizzie was raped and beaten by her father, whilst her alcoholic mother stood by, helpless. She eventually found the courage to report him and her father was imprisoned - but 12 weeks later he was allowed to return to the family home and continue his reign of terror. He seemed to be above the law.

Battered and violated, Lizzie knew she had to stay alive to protect her two little brothers. She went on to escape her father’s evil clutches, but the physical and mental scars continued to haunt her. 

Then, as her father lay dying, she summoned the strength and courage to forgive the man who had caused her so much pain.

I honestly hope that this book is of help to survivors as my whole reasoning behind the book was to let others know that they are not alone and yes we do punish ourselves over and over again as we are conditioned to feel unworthy but you have to take control of your life and realise you are worthy and no one on this earth has any right to judge you or any other fellow human being. So please turn the tables stand up speak out, be united with other survivors and be strong. If you endured any dreadful ordeal in your childhood and you survived you are made of tough stuff so keep up the fight you are worth it please be kind to yourself :) love lizx
