RAISED BY SECRETS - The Life I Inherited and the Truth I Was Never Told

In the quiet corridors of her childhood, H.G. Wallace believed she was loved, safe, and chosen. Adopted by a former Catholic priest who left the Church to marry her mother, she grew up proud of the man who gave her his name—until a casual search years later unraveled a devastating truth. What began as a daughter’s tribute turned into a harrowing reckoning. Buried beneath decades of silence lay a verified accusation of abuse committed by the man she called father—an accusation tied to the very years he served the Church. In this haunting and deeply personal memoir, Wallace traces the fragile line between loyalty and denial, memory and reality, love and betrayal. Raised by Secrets is a story of reckoning with inherited faith, uncovering the darkness woven into a family’s foundation, and reclaiming one’s voice from the shadows of silence.
