It was March 29th 1975 when Brendan Boland was summoned to give evidence to a secret canonical inquiry. The altar boy had just celebrated his 14th birthday. He had been abused for almost three years by a priest who would become Irelands' most notorious paedophile. Now the church wanted to know exactly what happened. Brendan told them everything . . .

One Child's Truth is the story of one boy's quiet determination to stop wrongdoing. It is a story which the Irish Catholic church kept secret for almost four decades: the story of Brendan Boland. This compelling and important book will present a candid and often moving first-hand account of events by Boland.
