One
boy who bravely speaks up. A church determined to keep him silent.‘After
a little while he called the other boy over. Did the same to him. I
heard everything. Father Smyth was a priest, a good man … But I knew
that some rule had been broken'
Brendan was an
eleven-year-old altar boy when he first met Father Smyth. When the abuse
began, he didn't know what to do – surely he should trust a priest? But
he knew he wasn't the only victim, and his worst nightmare was that his
sisters would be next. http://www.randomhouse.co.nz/books/brendan-boland/sworn-to-silence-9780091957469.aspx
