My Truth Might Not Be Yours

‘Anoscetia’ – The anxiety of not knowing ‘the real you’ (John Koenig). McCabe never really knew her ‘real Anna’, going in search of this when she decided to go on the journey enclosed within these covers. A tale so common, yet so unfortunately rarely shared, McCabe details her life to share with those who might walk in similar (or not) shoes to her. McCabe’s poignant yet unfussy account of abuse at the hands of her guardians deals with this ‘taboo’ subject in ways that will open the eyes of those who have never experienced it yet, allow those who have, to find their own voice.What will McCabe reveal? The taboo must be broken.

Although born in Scotland, Anna McCabe (until recently) spent most of her life in Wales and England. She returned home in 2017 and now lives in the village of Kincardine with her husband, Peter and their black labrador, Jessie.

A mother of four and Nana to three, Anna teaches English at a secondary school in Fife spending her ‘free’ time writing, walking, reading, or listening to music.
