Melting Permafrost

En savoir plus sur le livre

This is an autobiography, written by an anonymous author of a childhood in France where she was physically abused by her father. Whilst suspecting the abuse stretched to her siblings and to her mother, the author felt there was a web of secrecy around the family situation. When she raised the issues and threatened to tell, her family called her a liar and refused to acknowledge her experiences. She feels there was a village-wide cover up of her family's abuse which spanned generations due to their standing and wealth in their local farming community. Now an adult, the author is able to come to terms with her past, and with the help of a medium is able to piece together the abuse she and her mother experienced at the hands of her father.
