Kathy O’Beirne’s family reveal the startling truth behind her bestselling book and the false allegations of abuse in a Magdalene Laundry.
This is a compelling read and a shocking story, which begins with shame and ends with the triumph of an Irish family over false allegations of abuse. The family of best-selling author Kathy O'Beirne tells the real story behind her book, casting light on a destructive culture of false allegations hurting innocent people in Ireland. Kathy O’Beirne’s book, Kathy’s Story (Don’t Ever Tell in Britain) alleged that she was abused by her father, experimented upon in a psychiatric hospital, raped by priests and then slammed up in a Magdalene Laundry where she had a baby at 14. Abused or abuser? Brave truth-teller or a money-grabbing fraudster? See the evidence, hear from those who knew her as she grew up. Read how friends were bribed to bear false witness and journalists threatened. |

The book rounds off with a quick-paced ride through global best-sellers which have turned out to be literary frauds.

This gripping read is the ultimate antidote against ‘misery literature’. It is a parable of hope, showing that the truth is stronger than fiction, and more surprising too. It tells the real story behind Kathy's life and book. What Kathy actually did in life is more amazing than the allegations she has already made. Like this author who did a wealth of research and interviews, people will be genuinely startled by what they find. |
Read about what she did do in the new book, 'Kathy's Real Story'.
The book also looks at the effect of Compensation culture in Britain and Ireland, and crescendos into a final chapter on Literary Frauds and Follies, concentrating on the latest Mis-Lit phenomenon and especially recent busted flushes.
This book touches the the zeitgeist on the issue of false misery lit books. Kathy's Real Story in the definitive exposé of the best-selling mis-lit exemplar.
On one day, 5/3/08 there were articles on misery literature frauds in The Daily Telegraph, The Independent and The New York Times. There is a certain backlash out there, catch the wave.
