Tell Me Why, Mummy: A Little Boy's Struggle to Survive. A Mother's Shameful Secret. The Power to Forgive. - Thryft

Overcoming abuse, achieving memory mastery, path to forgiveness.

David Thomas's story could resonate with you if you believe in the indomitable strength of the human spirit. It's a gritty, raw tale that doesn't just dwell on his traumatic past but illuminates the extraordinary heights one can reach with resilience and determination. His journey from victim to a world-class memory expert is as inspiring as it is heart-wrenching, perhaps offering a beacon of hope for anyone looking to overcome their personal struggles.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

A heartbreaking story of abuse, betrayal, and ultimate redemption. From the age of four, David Thomas carried with him the most terrible secret of all - his mother was sexually abusing him every time she got drunk. When sober, David's mother was the perfect mum, baking cookies and playing games. David adored her. But when drunk, she turned into the monster of David's worst nightmares. Confusingly, when she sobered up, David's mother could never recall anything she'd done. David was completely alone with the daily horror. But things soon became even worse when his stepfather started beating him senseless. Locked in a downward spiral of self-loathing, David did anything to try to forget life at home. Even if it meant breaking the law. Then, one night, he saw a program on TV that changed his life. Suddenly he found the strength to turn his back on his past and make his future worth fighting for.
