Survivor: The Long Journey Back from Abuse

by Peter Andrews (Goodreads Author)

From the back cover:
“Year by year hundreds of children are abused by adults who care for them and whom they trust. As a day pupil in an independent [Christian] school he was sexually abused by one of his teachers, an ordeal that was to haunt him for the next 32 years. As an adult he decided to face his experience of abuse and to challenge the silence of those who covered it up. This deeply disturbing book tells the story of moving from being a victim to being a survivor and someone who now helps others on the long road of recovery from sexual abuse.”

Unusually, and of great value to survivors, this book describes how Peter was “groomed” and then abused, and also how he took legal action against his abusers. This is a book written about one man’s experience in the UK, and of the UK justice system.

Peter went on to found The Lantern Project, a charity set up to help other victims and survivors of sexual abuse.
