Daddy's Little Girl Summary

Daddy's Little Girl by Julia Latchem-Smith

Julia's family was a picture of respectability. To the outside world it was middle-class, decent, loving. But her mother didn't love her enough. And her father loved her too much. Between the ages of seven and thirteen Julia's father sexually abused her. While Julia's mother's obsessive domestic tendencies occupied her elsewhere, Julia's father concentrated his attentions on his daughter. When, eventually, Julia twice found the courage to reveal what was happening to her, her mother encouraged her to retract her allegations. Years later, after Julia had married and had two daughters, her father confessed - and Julia was able to record their conversation and press charges. Her father is currently serving eight years in prison. Julia no longer has a relationship with her mother and brother, but she has successfully rebuilt a new life for herself. This the dramatic story of how, by confronting her painful past, Julia has begun to build herself a successful future.

But it is also a book about triumph - how Julia moves on from becoming a victim and takes control of her destiny' -- Tivy-Side Advertiser 20070313 'Bruising in its honesty... A gritty account of how a normal family can be betrayed by those with most power, the parents' -- Western Daily Press 20070407 'A harrowing, emotional, brutally honest story; it's also an uplifting one of survival' -- The Western Mail Series 20070428 'Courageously told, harrowing to read... inspiring for any abuse victim like her' -- Nuneaton Evening Telegraph 20071020
