{"product_id":"hidden-torture-a-face-lily-di-giovanni-9781788308267","title":"Hidden Torture - A Face Behind A Masquerade Mask","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn a powerful and harrowing life-story of deprivation, suffering and ultimate overcoming, one woman's personal struggle is depicted in raw, often brutal detail. This complex testimony of living in a dysfunctional family, with physical and sexual abuse at the hands of a volatile but clever stepfather with the verbal skills to talk his way out of trouble, leaves no scenes off limits. Mistreatment from an early age, deceit and betrayal by one parent and passive complicity of the other, make for challenging reading. Institutional failings and lost opportunities to intervene are laid bare as a life heads into a downward spiral of petty crime, drugs and declining mental health. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe candour and courage of the author's recollections should serve as a warning to the curious onlooker and her ultimate vindication in the search for justice as an inspiration to those similarly affected.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lily Di Giovanni\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1788308263\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781788308267\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Olympia Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/24\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.50w x 0.38d","brand":"Lily Di Giovanni","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43983007875327,"sku":"9781788308267","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bf90a394-94dc-4e7d-8f6b-17eaf3591ae7.jpg?v=1683264166","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hidden-torture-a-face-lily-di-giovanni-9781788308267","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
