This weeks episode is a whopper. We were fortunate enough to talk to Jessica Harrington who is the author of 'The Girl In The Pink Shoes, which is a true story of childhood sexual abuse and child exploitation.
It is Jessica's own harrowing story of how she was abused by her stepdad under the nose of her mother, and the countless adults in her life who chose to turn a blind eye to what was happening right in front of them.
I don't want to give too much away in the show notes as this episode is an absolute must-listen if you want to educate yourself of the signs to look out for in the young people around you. This subject is so easy to turn away from as it is hard to accept that young people are being subjected to sexual abuse from people they are supposed to trust. The only people that not talking about this subject protects are the paedophiles and enablers who are allowing it to happen.
Jessica's book is out NOW and is currently just 99p on Kindle. The paperback version is available from WHSmith, Amazon and Waterstones.

Jess is in the process of writing Part 2 which will be out in the new year.
