Kathy's Real Story is published in Ireland now - let the battle commence

Kathy's Real Story: a culture of false allegations exposed
by Hermann Kelly
to be published in UK on Monday March 3rd 2008.

“Kathy’s Real Story blows a hole in the hull of the ship that is misery literature. It shows that Kathy O’Beirne is not a victim, but a malicious perpetrator of false claims, who for easy lucre, has caused good and innocent people incredible pain.”
Hermann Kelly

Book Back blurb of Kathy's Real Story

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.
This book examines some of the most notorious accusations against lay and religious people in both Ireland and Britain, and explores if they stand up to close scrutiny and police investigation; it also looks at what effect a 1.3 bn euro Government compensation scheme has had.
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.

Journalist Hermann Kelly is a regular columnist with The Irish Mail on Sunday newspaper.
He has done a wealth of research, interviewing Kathy O‘Beirne, her family, co-author, publisher and many others.
Written with the full cooperation of the O‘Beirne family.
