Katherine X is the victim of arguably the worst case of sexual abuse Australia has ever seen. Katherine's father began raping her when she was 13 and he continued a daily assault of sexual, physical and mental abuse until she was 41. Between 26 and 36, she gave birth to four of his children. In 2010 Katherine's father was sentenced to 22 years and five months' jail after pleading guilty to a reign of terror that began in the 1970s and only ended in 2005. After years of therapy, and with the support of a trusted group of psychologists and specialists, Katherine has written her story with Australian journalist Sue Smethurst: Behind Closed Doors.
Sue Smethurst is a prominent Australian journalist, businesswoman and mother of two. A highly respected media figure, she has enjoyed a long career through television, radio and magazines in Australia. Sue has co-authored three bestselling books, The Clothesline Diet, The Clothesline Diet Club and Why Can't I Lose Weight? and created Australian skincare company Hissyfit, which was recently successfully sold to a US pharmaceutical group.
