Never Tell

Product Description

ï ½I am six. We are sitting on the piano bench. Daddyï ½s wearing his undershorts. Thatï ½s all. Iï ½m wearing my white underpants. Thatï ½s all. It doesnï ½t feel like weï ½re going to make beautiful musicï ½ï ½ Catherine Mc Callï ½s father was a high-profile doctor, her mother regularly hosted bridge parties. Growing up in their beautiful, historic home in Brooklyn, Cathy appeared to have everything a girl could want. No one, not the neighbours, the nuns at school or her beloved grandmother, could have guessed that there was a torture chamber in the basement of 763 Montgomery Place, or that Cathy was being raped repeatedly by her father. By the age of eighteen, Cathy didnï ½t know either: she had repressed every memory of abuse. Twenty years later, looking after her now ailing parents, Cathyï ½s memories begin to return. In this starkly authentic & utterly immediate memoir, Cathy describes both how she uncovered the horrific secrets sheï ½d kept so well throughout her childhood & her inspirational journey to overcome them.
