Sophia's Story by Susan Mckay
In 1995, Sophia McColgan's father was sentenced to prison for the serial rape and abuse of his children over many years. He first raped Sophia when she was only six. It had taken immense courage on the part of Sophia and her family to bring the world of family child abuse to the public gaze. This edition includes an introduction by Susan McKay.
'She might have stepped from a medieval paintingThe soft, deep, dark eyes, the clear, pale, skin, the long tumbling chestnut curls. And the stillness, not of an uncomfortable kind, but of a serenity born out of stoicism and suffering.' The Irish Times 'A story that needed to be written, and needs to be read.' Evening Herald 'Sophia's courage and determination are heroic and will surely shine as a beacon to thousands of people who did not think they could fully live again.' Books Ireland 'Who should read it? Everyone.' Irish Social Worker
