Marie Hargreaves Author

Almost 60 years after the abuse began, Marie Hargreaves has finally found the courage and strength to speak out about her ordeal. 'I cannot in all truth say that this ordeal has not, at times, dominated and defined me. I carried this heavy weight around for 60 years and it almost dragged me under. Now, by speaking out, I feel that my burden is lifting at last. The shame is no longer mine.'
