Product Description

Review

Sandra Browns book is completely gripping. In her clear sighted, affecting, uncluttered way, she acheives a sort of restoration for the missing girl Moira Anderson.... Sandra Brown found evil at close quarters, in the person of her own father, and she confronted it as few could have done.. bringing a slow burning candle into the darkest of rooms... Everyone will want to read this amazing story.. --Andrew O Hagan


Product Description

Sandra Brown was 8 when a 12 yr old neighbour, Moira anderson, disappeared from the small town of coatbridge near glasgow in 1957. Moira has never been seen since. 27 yrs later at a family funeral, sandras estranged father confessed to her that he had been involved in the girls disappearance. Appauled and fasinated by his curious half confession, sandra decided to delve into the case and is so doing discovered that her father was an acknowledged molester of children whose activities were known not just to everyone in coatbridge but also to the police. The horrifying jigsaw she pieced together, along with the admissions for her father made, ultimatly convinced Sandra that he had indeed been responsible for moiras disappearance over 40 yrs ago. Child abuse is one of the most crucial and appaling issues of our times and this extraordinary, personal story goes to the very heart of the debate. Harrowing but ultimately redemtive. Where there is evil is a remarkable book and one which cannot fail to touch all those who read it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heart Wrenching, 19 Feb 2006
By Kerry (Poole, Dorset United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I bought this book by chance over Christmas. I couldn't put the book down, and read it within a day and a half. Sandra Brown puts into words her account of her painful childhood, handed to her by her father, whilst adults around her chose to ignore his behaviour. Years later he admitted doing something far worse than she could have thought possible, and he got away with it. This booked touched me so much that I had to send a message to the author - Sandra Brown, who very kindly responded. I dare anyone to read this book, and not have a lump in their throat whem reading the final paragraph about her mother. A truly remarkable women.

5.0 out of 5 stars Being brave., 11 Jun 2002
By A Customer
Reading this book brought back many bad memories.It was a fantastic story that brought home the fact that families cover up anything that will cause scandal.If this had happened in recent years it would have caused a media frenzy.Well done to a very brave woman who opened up and did the right thing when so many others din`nt.

5.0 out of 5 stars remarkable, 16 April 2000
By ian.baxter@dial.pipex.com (Camberley, Surrey, UK) - See all my reviews
I was brought up in Coatbridge and many of the people mentioned in the book are or were known to me. This book is a 'must read' for anyone from Coatbridge over the age of 50. It must have taken great courage to write.
