"The most shocking story ever of Irish child abuse"
- Irish Independent
Nobody heard me cry is the shocking true story of a young boy growing up in poverty and neglct in Limerick, and the cycle of sexual abuse that followed. Years, later having completed his training as a solicitor, he still cannot escape the demons of his past and turns to alcohol to escape. Than one bleak night, John is called to a police station to defend a man on a charge of sexual abuse, and he finds himself face to face with one of his previous attackers. His abuser doesn't recognize him however, and now John is faced with a decision whose consequences will affect the rest of his life.
This book is one of the saddest but at the same time best stories I have ever read. Although true it is one of the most unrealistic and hardest to picture. I would really recommend this book to anyone who is ready to sit back and imagine and picture the scenes that are so vividly described in the book. It is a hard book, emotionally but once you read it you will understand the massage it sends.
