Book description
Cassie was just a little girl who wanted to be loved. Betrayed by her
mother in the most horrific manner, and abused by her 'uncle', she had
to fight to survive the demons of her past.
Cassie couldn't remember when the abuse began, but from an early age
she knew that her life was different from other children. Her mother
made it clear that she wasn't wanted, she wasn't loved and He said that
he was her friend, that this was his way of showing her that she was special.
With no one else to turn to, finally she found the courage to speak
out, to tell her mother what he did to her. But her mother wouldn't
listen, and with horror, Cassie was to discover exactly who her abuser
was, and why she would never be heard.
I Did Tell, I Did is the incredible story of a girl who was betrayed by
everyone who should have loved her, and how she overcame the pain to
find happiness and love, and to learn how to live with her past.

tranquilisers from her teenage years, she battled to break free for most
of her adult life, and through two difficult marriages. Today she is a
happily married woman, with a loving and supportive husband and three
children. She runs her own practice as a counsellor and psychiatrist.
