About this listen
‘Each time my mother laid a finger on me… it was another step into the jaws of hell. Her abuse, more so than any other, destroyed me. It was the ultimate betrayal.’
Abused from the age of eight by her older brother and then her step-father, Maureen Wood quickly became numb to the constant suffering. But Maureen’s world crumbled when her own mother started to abuse her too…
A Family Secret is the harrowing true story of how one little girl survived sickening abuse by the people who should have loved her most, and how an innocent baby finally saved her.

Incredible story, well narrated
Heartbreaking and almost unbelievable story. You can’t believe so much could happen to one little girl and she could survive it all. Well written, and well narrated. I couldn’t stop listening.

I wish this book was never written, a devastating story of broken trust and heartache.
I so sorry there was ever a reason to put pen to paper.
Devastating story of trust broken, relationships and future bound by secrets.
Bless little Christopher for the gifts of freedom!
While the story is heartbreaking it’s one of truth and substance, I feel like I could feel what she went through. Well performed and written.
