Silent Scars

More about the book

Imagine coming face-to-face with your rapist decades after he attacked you. And what if you are expected to live alongside the man who turned your world upside down and no one believes you? Shirley may be eighty and unable to walk after a debilitating stroke, but some moments from her life will live in her memory forever. So, when she comes across a new resident at her nursing home's bingo night, she has no doubt in her mind at all - this man is the one who raped her. Although years have passed, the trauma of Shirley's attack is still fresh in her mind. But who will believe her? Struggling to convince those around her that she is not losing her mind, Shirley must face up to the shame and guilt she still feels from the horrific attack. Can she come to terms with her past, uncover the truth and stop her rapist hurting anyone else? When people in the home start to die in suspicious circumstances, Shirley fears she may be too late. But is the man at bingo really Shirley's rapist and why is she being haunted by voices from the nursing home's tragic past?
