'Over and over again he warned me he would kill me if I told anyone. I was completely isolated. He made sure of that.'
Mary was ten years old when she first met her stepfather, Sean McDarby. From the very beginning he seemed to pay her special attention; his praise and compliments quickly won her trust. Then he started touching her in ways she didn't like. When she was twelve, he raped her.
The next twenty years were filled with harrowing abuse as McDarby continued to rape Mary, leading to the birth of five of her children. Finally, after years of abuse — years when justice was denied at every turn — Mary found the strength and courage to break free. Against the odds she created a safe place for her children and reclaimed her life.
This is Mary's inspirational story of courage and survival.
