It took three decades before Maureen felt able to talk about her dark past. Growing up in an abusive household, she was sexually assaulted by her mother, stepfather and brother for years on end. After giving birth to a son as a result of a rape, she thought that maybe, just maybe, the baby would save her. Tragically, he suffered a cot death soon after his birth, leaving Maureen devastated. Years later, with Maureen heartbroken and tormented by her childhood, her family still had not been charged with the deeply unsettling crimes they committed. That is until Maureen had the bravery and courage to approach the police. In the trying investigation that followed, Maureen’s lost son once again appeared to save her, proving integral to the evidence. This heart-breaking, but ultimately uplifting tale is proof that even in our darkest moments, hope can still be found.
