Raw and compelling, Anatomy of a Secret bravely shares long-silenced, 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.

PRAISE FOR THE BOOK

‘A profoundly important and moving testimony, Anatomy of a Secret is told with the kind of clear-eyed courage, wisdom and compassion that can only come from the deepest loss. This book will never leave me.’ Emily Bitto
