"Children with everything to live for. A community betrayed. The whistleblower priest who paid the ultimate price."--Cover. |
| "A powerful true story"--Cover. |
| This is a powerful exposé of widespread and organised clerical abuse of children in the Maitland-Newcastle Diocese. By a six-time Walkley Award-winning investigative reporter, this gripping and explosive story focuses on two childhood friends, their families and community, and the people who fought for justice in the face of a cover-up that extended from parish priests to every echelon of the Catholic Church. |
