Jessica Hendra, daughter of comedian Tony Hendra, recounts the years of sexual abuse she endured and her decision to publicly confront her father, sacrificing any hope of reconciling with him and setting into motion a "New York Times" investigation that rocked the literary world.

The author, comedian Tony Hendra, describes his relationship with Father Joe, a Benedictine monk who was his mentor from when he was fourteen and having an affair with a married Catholic woman, through the turmoil and drugs of the seventies and eighties, and two marriages, until his death.
