Non-Fiction Memoir
"From age four to eighteen, Sue William Silverman was
sexually abused with numbing regularity by her father, a
high-ranking government official and successful banker.
Rendered in often graphic detail, her story annihilates our
complacency about who among us could commit such evil--and
who could stop it, for this is also a story of complicity,
of the blaming silence with which Silverman's mother meets
her daughter's clear signals of distress. Exploring the
inner contours of a family in crisis, Silverman shows how
their situation persisted for so long--unreported,
undetected, and unconfessed--and how the ordeal colored and
controlled her life well into adulthood. From an anguished
child who could find neither a strong enough voice nor the
right words to an award-winning writer, 'Terror, Father'
tells Silverman's unforgettable story of loss and recovery."
