‘Some Secrets Should Never Be Kept’ is a children’s story book about a young knight’s experience of child sexual abuse. It explores manipulation and coercion in an age appropriate manner, sexual abuse, and common worries children have about disclosing.

‘The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children Underwear Rule’.
