Description
Jerry Coyne's memoir is a harrowing account of his childhood, marked by abandonment, abuse, and trauma. From the age of three, he was sent to live in a Catholic children's home, where he endured physical and emotional punishment at the hands of the nuns. As he grew older, the abuse continued, with Jerry being sent to a boarding school for boys with behavioural problems, where he was subjected to further mistreatment. Years of self-hatred and guilt took their toll on Jerry, leading to a severe stammer and eventually, a suicidal attempt. However, it was this low point that ultimately led to his recovery, as he found the courage to come forward and seek justice. This powerful and devastating true story is a testament to the enduring impact of childhood trauma and the human spirit's capacity for resilience and survival. With unflinching honesty, Jerry Coyne recounts his journey towards healing and redemption, a journey that has had far-reaching consequences for himself and others.
