Summary

This is the story of Harry Marsden and the abuse he and many others suffered during their childhoods at the hands of the Catholic Church in St Mary's children's home. This book tracks the young Harry Marsden from a four-year-old being abandoned by his mother, through the savage treatment he and many others endured from the strict and brutal regime of the Sisters of Charity, to his rise to the top of the crime world, and then his turnaround to becoming a top boxing coach honored with award after award.

Physical and sexual abuse of children in care homes is well documented, but here is something far more powerful than a committee sitting to hear evidence of child sexual and physical abuse in the Roman Catholic Church. The Catholic Church sat on many acts of abuse by its clergy, the scandal of cover-ups has been revealed, but bringing attention to such evil and wholesale deeds to the public eye was not possible without the courage of the thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of victims to step out of the shadows and speak out.
