A frightened girl sits on the stairs. It's Christmas Day but she's gripped by fear. She can hear them downstairs, waiting for her. Laughing like they have nothing to be ashamed of. Afterwards, her mother will indulge her because it's Christmas. & for just one day the girl won't wonder, ' How could she?' At just five years old, Dana Fowley learned that there was no one she could trust & nowhere she could escape to. She & her younger sister endured years of terrible abuse, subjected day after day to unimaginable attacks, & not only did their own mother do nothing to protect them, she willingly helped. In a high-profile & traumatising court case Dana's lifelong suffering was at last revealed when she bravely faced her demons & testified against her own mother. Finally, Dana's nightmare is coming to an end.
