Book description
'It is my dearest hope that this book will allow me to reach out
to others in pain and give them hope, for they too can choose to be
a survivor.'
Izzy Hammond's deaf and partially blind parents attracted sympathy
from the outside world, but no one knew of the horrific abuse their
daughter was subjected to inside the family home.
In Someone To Watch Over Me, Izzy is now able to reveal how
the vicious childhood abuse she suffered, first at the hands of her
father and then by subsequent predators, cast a shadow over three
generations of her family and led to a violent assault upon Izzy by
her eldest daughter. Finally able to break the cycle, she has at last
reclaimed a life free from the demons that have haunted her for so long.
Prior to retirement, Izzy Hammond was a qualified communicator and
guide for the deaf and blind. She now undertakes voluntary work for an
elderly people's club in her community. Robert Potter has been a
first-person human-interest features writer for 17 years and has written
for various publications, including the
Sunday Post
and the
Weekly News
.
