New Zealand’s dirty secret of physical and sexual abuse by religious and
lay staff and the ongoing battles with the Catholic Church to accept
responsibility for their wrong-doings revealed in a new biography about
one woman’s harrowing childhood.
In June 2009 Penguin Group NZ will publish Ann Thompson’s biography Say Sorry. Her name will not likely be familiar to most New Zealanders but her story is one that all will be shocked to read about. Say Sorry is a moving insight into Ann’s horrific upbringing including on-going abuse — physical, sexual and mental — and bullying at two orphanages in Christchurch, and her on-going battles with the authorities within the Catholic Church to accept responsibility for the past abuse of children in its care.
