A highly moving and compulsive memoir of a child's suffering at the hands of her abusive step-father, within an enclosed and secretive Jehovah's Witness community

A young girl at the mercy of her abusive stepfather and the religious community that protects him - Bad Things in the Night is a moving true story of pain and triumph.

As a child Beth was imprisoned within a Jehovah's Witness family, kept away from her mother, forbidden from wearing a school skirt above her knees by day, abused by her stepfather at night. Years later, when she summons the courage to report her stepfather to the police for the first time, she is forced to relieve her childhood torment.

Will Beth's fight for justice be worth the suffering reawakened?
