Harvesting Silence is the powerful true story of Sarah Cook's journey from voiceless child to courageous survivor.

Growing up in the leafy Sydney suburb of Hunters Hill, NSW, Australia, Sarah's life appeared idyllic-her father, a WWII hero and beloved local GP, her mother, a glamorous opera singer and devout Catholic. But at just eight years old, after appearing as a cover girl for the Harvest Magazine, Sarah's world shattered. Groomed by a man training for the priesthood, the abuse she endured was met with denial, silence, and shame from the very institutions meant to protect her.

For decades, Sarah was silenced-by her family, the Church, and a system designed to suppress truth. But in 2014, during Australia's Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, her story is finally heard and believed. This compelling story highlights her legal and civil lawsuits as she fights for justice.

Sarah's insight brings light into dark places, offering hope and guidance to those still in the shadows. The God she initially blamed for not protecting her, gently leads her into a powerful spiritual encounter. A new harvest is planted of hope and healing.

Blending moments of humour with unflinching honesty, Harvesting Silence is a deeply moving account of justice, resilience, and the enduring power of truth.
