Don't you Love Your Daddy? - Sally East & Toni Maguire 2010 ***


Another depressing misery memoir, this time backed up by Toni Maguire who is well known as a misery memoir writer. Sally East portrays a hideous story of sexual abuse at the hands of her own father who takes total control of her once her beloved mother dies of cancer when Sally is at a young age. She has no one there to help her, protect her, or save her, and this is her account of what happened. Well written and easy to follow, the one downside appeared to me to be the brushing over of her later life. For someone who goes into such detail over the sexual assaults she doesn't pay much attention to showing us her positive new life at the end of the book. It's glossed over on the last pages.
