Author:Audrey Delaney
'I could see what he was doing to the other girls because he had been doing it to me for as long as I could remember'
At just six years of age, Audrey Delaney's childhood was cut tragically short when her father first abused her. What followed was a lifetime of pain and betrayal at the hands of the very man who should have protected her. Too young to know right from wrong, the only thing Audrey knew for sure was that her father's actions left her feeling sordid and guilty. When she saw him touching other girls, this innocent child felt that she was to blame.
Then finally, after years of harbouring her father's shocking secret, Audrey found the courage to go public. All My Fault is the inspiring and triumphant account of a scared and hurt little girl who managed to confront her demons and reclaim her life.
A tragic, upsetting yet moving story of one woman struggling to deal with the aftermath of child sexual abuse. Yet, it is ultimately a powerful and inspiring story
