With honesty and inspirational courage, Tanjas Darke offers a rare insight into the reality of dominance and mind games played by abusers, in this case her own father. More importantly she shows how the cycle can be broken and the abuser brought to justice. She relives her father's trial and describes her feelings while giving evidence against him. This is an extraordinary yet ultimately positive story which was made into a television documentary with the aim to give other abuse victims a message of hope while also providing a deeper understanding of a situation that seems incomprehensible and inescapable. Her story will remain in the heart and mind of every reader long after the book has been finished.

Byla jsem nevinná, byla jsem týraná. Cesta do pekla a zpátky
O nespravedlnosti světa by mohla vyprávět Tanja. Celých dvacet let zažívala kruté ponížení, brutální sexuální zneužívání i nelidské mučení, to vše prováděné stejnou osobou. Největší autoritou. Vlastním otcem. Syrový příběh dívky, vyprávěný děsivě upřímně, je varováním pro lhostejnou veřejnost, ale hlavně jiskřičkou naděje pro další oběti, aby se nebály promluvit.
