In this powerful and moving memoir, a survivor of clergy sexual abuse tells the story of his abuse and the subsequent betrayal by his church. The author, who was just 11 years old when he was first abused by his priest, writes with raw honesty about the devastating impact the abuse had on his life. He describes the physical, emotional, and spiritual pain he endured, as well as the feelings of shame, guilt, and betrayal that haunted him for years.
The author also writes about the courage it took to come forward and report his abuse, and the subsequent legal battle he fought against the archdiocese that covered up his priest's crimes. He describes the challenges he faced in trying to hold the church accountable for its actions, and the sense of vindication he felt when he finally won his case.
