Some stories remain silent for decades. This is one of them. Silence, Not For Sale is the true story of a woman who survived childhood sexual abuse and found the courage, at sixty years old, to finally speak. For most of her life, April believed she was the only victim. When long-buried truths finally emerged, everything she thought she understood about her past was forced into the light. Living a quiet life in Essex, surrounded by her daughters and grandchildren, April had built joy and stability, but the past was not finished with her.

Held prisoner in luxurious surroundings and forced into a degrading and isolated life, she is left coping with depression and desperate loneliness. Knowing she may never see her family and friends again and grieving for what she has lost, images of her former life become nightmares. Experimented on and subjected to repeated physical, emotional and sexual abuse, Chloe is sure it will only end in a painful death. There is but one bright spot in the dark days of her captivity; surely it can’t be love that’s she’s feeling, just gratitude for the way this man treats her.
