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 urgently needed 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... This book will enlighten you about a far too common reality for many people. Be it psychological, physical or sexual abuse, My Father will leave you wondering how on Earth nobody reacted to obvious signs of violence over decades. It will push you to regard society's labels as assets rather than weaknesses or failures. But most of all, it will encourage you to question the status quo in an often blind and greedy society.
