Rating: 5/5
The 50-Year Secret penned by the author Eggy Hepburn is a true story of physical, mental and sexual abuse of a child by his own father. Eggy was born in Aldershot in 1958 to Gwendoline and Brian. At the age of eleven, he was abused by his own father. His father was a bully, a liar, etc. One day, he took Eddy to bathe and was standing very close to him. He used to do this on Thursdays when Eddy’s mom used to be at work. Earlier his family used to wonder why Eddy doesn’t talk much to his father but now they know the reason.
Father’s role is to provide the best to his kids. But when that person himself becomes your abuser then how could you trust others. Eddy has mentioned how in many cases, abused become the abuser later in life. But Eddy has raised his children and grandchildren well. After carrying the burden for 50 long years, Eddy informed his family and the police about the childhood abuse. Through this book, Eddy is asking the victims to reach for help. He has narrated his story well and I am thankful to him for sharing an important part of his life with the readers.
We shouldn’t let anyone take advantage of us. Standing up for ourselves is not easy but we should do it. Written in simple language, this story of Eddy could be read by beginners as well. It’s a story worth reading. I am glad to get my hands on this book. Story is fast paced and I like to recommend it to adult readers.
