Mondays are Yellow

"A heart-wrenching and harrowing story of child sexual abuse, through two generations, beautifully told" -Sylvia Fraser, author of "My Father's House: a Memoir of Incest and of Healing"

Mondays are Yellow: A Mother's Courageous Fight to Save Her Daughters from Sexual Abuse is Ellen Prescott's Times of London bestselling memoir.

When Ellen's daughters are four and one, she decides to kill them rather than face what she must face: the fact that her kids are being sexually abused by their dad.

But instead of killing her little girls, Ellen moves reluctantly towards what terrifies her: the truth. Her babies have been badly hurt. She does what a mother has to do--reports the case to the authorities. At first she's shaky and rocky--has she done the right thing? But over time, as Carolina's disclosures become more and more explicit, she understands how necessary it was. She separated abuser and victim, but will she be able to keep them apart until her kids are grown? Will the abuser go to jail? Will the girls get better?
