Helping adult survivors of child sexual abuse, find their voice & hand the shame back to the abusers

About Gloria

My name is Gloria Masters and I have written a book about my life.

Most specifically the first 16 years of my life which consisted of ongoing and traumatic abuse, relentless and targeted in nature and caused by the two people who should have looked after me: My parents. However I survived and came through with the help of my Angels, which is why I am sharing my blog with you.

I am a Mum, Author and Spiritual being who wants to share who I am with the world, to help other people find freedom from the shame and secrecy that surviving child sexual abuse brings. My purpose is to offer hope and light where previously there was none.

My words come to you on Angels Wings and I am blessed to consider their presence a very big part of my life.

Above all, be the heroine of your life, not the victim – Nora Ephron

This extraordinary powerful story of Gloria’s journey from darkness into light is one of hope, resilience and the unrelenting power of the human spirit to survive. 

It’s June 1960 and in middle-class suburban New Zealand, a child was born into sex slavery. For the first sixteen years of her life, Gloria suffered horrendous sexual, physical and psychological abuse at the hands of her father, with no one to protect her. From the underworld of her father’s paedophile ring to the groups he trafficked her to, she found an inner strength and a light that shone so brightly, her mind was the one thing that could not be destroyed.

Experienced through the eyes of a child, On Angels’ Wings will forever highlight the way we deal with child abuse, shining a light on this darkness, and challenging us not to assume that every child is safe. One voice speaking out is all it takes to save a life.
