THE BOOKs

Cruelly Betrayed

I put my own father in prison. 16 years of sexual abuse and threats. 16 years of fear and silence. 16 years of forced smiles and resilience. 10 years of studies. 7 years of pregnancy. 4 years of criminal trials. 10 years of marriage. 5 years of deception. Half a year of cancer…and only 37 years old.

There was no time to ask ‘Why me ?’. Facing my own mortality made me realise that a big chapter of my life was not over yet and that I was not as free as I thought I was. These pages have written themselves in the middle of a still, ongoing heavy storm.

Nicolas, a charismatic Christian figure, a sacrificing husband, and a hailed hero. But who is Nicolas really? What is hiding behind the smile of this seemingly generous father of six? What is his darkest secret?

Following her mother’s death, Mary felt the urgent need to understand exactly what had happened to her estranged mother. She embarked on a painful quest to dig up 30 years of archives, but what she discovered was beyond anything she could ever have imagined…
