Summary

This extraordinary powerful story of Gloria’s journey from darkness into light is one of hope, resilience, and the unrelenting power of the human spirit to survive.

It’s June 1960, and in middle-class suburban New Zealand, a child was born into sex slavery. For the first 16 years of her life, Gloria suffered horrendous sexual, physical, and psychological abuse at the hands of her father, with no one to protect her. From the underworld of her father’s pedophile ring to the groups he trafficked her to, she found an inner strength and a light that shone so brightly, her mind was the one thing that could not be destroyed.

Experienced through the eyes of a child, On Angels’ Wings will forever highlight the way we deal with child abuse, shining a light on this darkness and challenging us not to assume that every child is safe. One voice speaking out is all it takes to save a life.

Heart wrentching

The fact that Gloria can function as a human after what she endured is a miracle! Now to share her story to help and support others, I truly have no words. Devastating story, very well written and narrated. This is not a comfortable story to hear, but a story that needs to be told. I am in awe of this woman

shocking

the story was read amazingly. the story itself was shocking. I'll never understand why the need to want to be family with those people though. Blood doesn't always mean family

Absolutely Amazing read, heart braking, yet so powerful

I cant even begin to express how incredibly strong I think you are for writing this book and surviving the hell you went through. It opened my eyes up to many of my own past traumas and beyond moved me. This is so powerful.
I absolutely recommend everyone reading this book.

Heartbreaking and powerful

This is the hardest most heartbreaking story I’ve ever heard. I have cried listening to this… Unimaginable any child could have been treated like this by anyone let alone their own parents. Thank you Gloria for sharing your story and giving hope to others, what a remarkable woman.

Unbearably devastating

A hard listen but the story of survival and inner hidden strength is outstanding. How anyone could put someone through something so horrific is heartbreaking. I hope you find your peace and unconditional love from your own children.

Almost defies belief

Be warned, it’s not a book for everyone. A compelling storyline which was sometimes hard to hear. Such an unbelievably strong woman. So glad it came good for her in the end

Unimaginable, un-put-downable listen

I saw Gloria’s unfiltered short story about the horrors of her childhood, I downloaded Audible and listened to her entire book within 24 hours. I’m stunned how someone survives this nightmare, and better yet, manages to heal and break the cycle of generational abuse. The truth really does set you free. What an inspirational woman and an amazing example of how you can overcome any kind of hardship, however long, short or unimaginable it may be.
