Book description
For years, Jenny and sister Kim suffered horrendous physical and
sexual abuse at the hands of their father. They survived in part
because of their closeness and their determination to be there for
each other.
Both sisters left home at the earliest opportunity to escape but
before long, Jenny was embroiled in a relationship with an abusive man
that kept her locked in a cycle of violence and fear. Their lives
followed parallel paths, with first marriage, then kids and always the
terror that things would never change. Eventually, with a lot of love,
grit and courage they helped each other to climb out of the pit of
despair and truly free themselves from the legacy of the past. Every
bit as harrowing and inspiring as Behind Closed Doors, this is a story
of the power of unstintingly loyal love.
Jenny Tomlin was born and brought up in east London. She has two
children and lives happily in France. Jenny is a bestselling author and
children's rights campaigner.
