Well done, it isn't easy to get publicity for a book, so I hope you net a few sales from that.

I wish a few more people abused within Catholic institutions would come forward and develop a campaign to get British victims compensated by the R.C. Church the same way the Irish victims appear to have been.

I see the Pope's had to put his personal valet on trial and send him to the Vatican dungeon for, er, blowing the whistle on all the financial irregularites, tax evasion and money-laundering going on there.

Just think, under British law, he could have claimed 'public interest disclosure' as a whistleblower - and got compensation from an Employment Tribunal before you could say 'His Holiness, the Holy Father, Vicar of Christ on Earth'.

The poor bloke was trying to clean up the Vatican - a task more difficult than cleaning out the Augean stables.

I thought the Bible said: 'Forgive'?

Many thanks Tony, I hope the article reaches those who need help. There are a lot of walking wounded out there.

Well done from me too!

I wish you every success with your Book and that it will be the first of many, though obviously on differing subjects. I have to say I think I saw your Book on sale a while ago but didn't at that time connect it to you.

I will look out for your book cristobell. Is that you as a child on the cover? You were a beautiful little girl. Beautiful on the outside and beautiful on the inside too. Well done for writing your story. I hope you found it therapeutic aswell as doing it to raise awareness and to encourage other abused children to speak out.

I shall certainly buy a copy of your book Cristobel. I'm so pleased you are realising your dreams to become a writer. It's good for the soul and the healing process when your voice can be heard, and you can muster up the strength and courage to turn past fears and darkness into something positive and inspiring. You must be extremely proud of yourself! Very well done xxxxxx

Wishing you great success with your book Cry and You Cry Alone in the US and in Canada.

Well done Cristobell. I am sure my mother would love that book and will try and get her a copy x
