DON’T TELL MUMMY: A True Story of the Ultimate Betrayal: A True Story Of The Ultimate Betrayal : Maguire, Toni: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: Superb - I’ve read several books in this genre, and without doubt, this is the most beautifully and intelligently written of all. Ms Maguire takes us on a journey through her childhood, where the young girl has no choice but to accept the changes thrown at her. The injustices and prejudices against a child being forced into horrible situations with no one to support her filled me with anger and made me wish I could reach back in time to hug her. She lived in a “mysterious adult world where children’s feelings are not real” but made it through, and I look forward to the sequel to discover how Toni deals with fresh challenges. This book was so well written that I felt like I knew her. I also enjoyed the references to places in Northern Ireland, which made me long for a Morelli’s ice cream and a stroll along Portstewart Strand.
Review: Book - Good read

Good read

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Shocked & Saddened
*by M***T on 16 December 2008*

This is author Toni Maguires true story of her harrowing childhood in Belfast in the 1950's, at the hands of a sexually abusive father. It runs along side of the story of her sitting in a nursing home as an adult, with her terminally ill mother. As she keeps her vigil, her memories come back to her and she begins to tell her story of her childhood. This is not a story of neglect in a material sense as is usually the case, but a fairly average childhood in all other respects, interspersed with horrendous sexual abuse. As we find out, the damage caused lasts a lifetime for Toni. This is another book I couldn't put down until finished. How a parent can do such things to a child is totally beyond my belief! It highlights the fact that so many families can hide such hideous secrets behind a cover of "normality" and "respectability". Well worth a read. Don't Tell Mummy: A True Story of the Ultimate Betrayal
