About this eBook

‘He manipulated me by making me feel special ... then duped me into thinking I was to blame.’

Hayley was just 12 when she met Mr Willson, the new drama teacher at her school. Good looking and charismatic, he was classic schoolgirl-crush material. Hayley was flattered by the attention he gave her, and he soon befriended her parents. Little did they know they were all being groomed. Hayley allowed Mr Willson to do unspeakable things to her, and after the relationship ended it took almost 20 years of guilt and crippling self-esteem issues before a complete breakdown prompted her to tell her parents, and they went with her to the police.

This is the shocking true story of a schoolgirl groomed by her teacher, and her courageous journey to heal the wrongs of her past.

Ratings and reviews

Hayley does a beautiful job of being real and honest with her emotions.(which makes for a great actress, btw!) She is a very courageous woman for sharing her story. I pray that she finds healing and peace through helping others who have been through similar abuse. Just because a relationship feels good, it doesn't mean it's not abuse. God bless you Hayley! May Christ draw you to His loving arms and make you 100% whole. Thank you!

So emotional, and raw...such a great read! I read it in one day. Hearing her honest account of what she went through was so powerful, and hopefully helps other survivors feel not so alone.

Could not put it down! A must read for anyone who has been through abuse, ptsd, depression, etc. Beautifully written!
