A Story of Life after Abuse

The day Andrew Madden was molested by his favourite priest, Father Ivan Payne, his love of the Catholic Church was poisoned. Father Payne`s abuse lasted for three years, until Andrew was fifteen, and its impact went on long after. Andrew lost direction. He lost self-belief. He lost the capacity to have loving sex. And he lost himself in drink.

In time Andrew found his way again, and „Altar Boy” tells how he did it. His is a candid and sometimes searing account of how abuse can affect a life. But ultimately Andrew`s journey of redemption shows that victims don`t have to remain victims.
