Life Behind the Masks Wilma Macliver

Mother-Daughter Sexual Abuse MDSA The ultimate betrayal of a child's trust.

The taboo subject led by society's denial that abuse of this nature even occurs.

Wilma survived 16 years of her mother Hellen's brutal, emotional, physical, and sexual abuse-including acts of torture. Manipulated, controlled, and violated from her earliest memories, Wilma despaired from the constant hunger, sexual abuse, violent beatings, and strip searches. She feared suicide was her only option.

The stigma and shame of the abuse silenced Wilma for years.

As Wilma found the courage to speak her unspeakable secret-she was relieved by the support she received, after years of being convinced no one would believe her. MacLiver wrote her powerful, true story in this inspiring book from a daughter-survivor's point of view.

Life Behind the Masks is a must-read to witness her miracle healing from the worst kind of sexual abuse- an unforgettable memoir
