Overview

""Having lived through these experiences and been unable to speak out - not knowing how to use my voice to ask for help - I am thrilled that I am finally being heard and my story is being told."" This is a memoir about childhood neglect; childhood sexual abuse; and living in care - but it is also one of the best examples of resilience and survival. Groomed and abused as a child, Liz could easily have crumbled. Instead, she stood up and saw justice done. But Hear Me is more than one woman's story - as remarkable and powerfully written as that story is. It is also a call to arms for the unheard victims across the country. Liz is fiercely passionate about spreading awareness of child neglect, abuse, poverty, living in care and how that can impact people throughout life, and limit their chances of achieving their full potential. She is determined to have an impact on this subject, to be a voice for change. Until these topics are highlighted on prime-time TV, on drive time radio shows, and are discussed around the dinner table and in the playground, abusers will continue to abuse, protected by a blanket of fear. Liz is hopeful her story will contribute to a change in the culture we live in. Despite the horrors she has endured, Hear Me is also a beautifully, sometimes even funny, memoir which will make readers stop in their tracks and really think.
