The inspiring true story of the woman who took on her rapist father

When Fiona Doyle's father pleaded guilty to sexually abusing her throughout her childhood and teens, Fiona assumed she would at last get justice. Instead, shockingly, the judge released O'Brien on bail.

Three days later, following a national outcry, the presiding judge expressed his 'profound regret' and sent O'Brien to jail.

Too Many Tears is Fiona's story - the turmoil and isolation she experienced as a child and young girl, the devastating price she continued to pay in her adult life, and how finally she had the courage to take on her father. It is a moving, shocking and inspiring story of survival and hope against the odds.
