Sexual Abuse

This rich, raw and urgent debut novel is a domestic noir of sex and survival set in Trinidad's capital.

Inspiring mountaineer takes a group of abused young women on an epic trek to Mount Everest Base Camp, before climbing the mountain herself, and healing her own trauma.

Groomed and procured by a white woman, raped by hundreds of men and labelled the 'most abused girl in Rotherham', now Elizabeth Harper is fighting for answers as to why so many people paid to protect our children simply turned a blind eye.
