'This courageous memoir about the personal toll of seeking justice from the Catholic Church is one of hope, healing and persistence.

'Raw and compelling, Anatomy of a Secret bravely shares longsilenced, unspoken truths.

'As a boy, Gerard was sexually abused by a Catholic priest at his local church. As a grown man, he confronts the trauma of what he suffered and the psychological aftermath of his experience, grappling with shame, guilt and the devastating impact it had on his family, relationships and sense of self.

'Despite what he endured, Gerard's story is one of hope and healing, of acknowledging pain and seeking support, of honesty and justice.'  (Publication summary)
