A THURROCK author is hoping her book will inspire people who have suffered abuse.
Sarah Harper’s Life and Survival as a Destitute: My Own True Story tells of her difficult childhood, in which she suffered sexual, verbal and physical abuse.
Sarah said: “It looks at the difficulties and traumatic experiences I went through in my childhood and not being protected by those who were supposed to look after me.
“I try to give comfort to those who may have been in a similar situation.
“I’m writing this book, telling the whole world of my suffering and pain I experienced as a child, sexual abuse, physical abuse, pain that I have locked up inside for years.
“Revisiting my past has been extremely painful.
“It has always been my desire to tell my story so people know that despite all the pain I experienced and although I may still be damaged psychologically, I managed to overcome this and have a balanced life.”
