The doors of the house inhabited by the Jack Wilson family on
Telegraph Hill lead to a terrible secret. Within those walls,
Charles S. Wilson and his sisters suffered heartbreaking physical
and mental abuse at the hands of their own parents.
Mother Mame was a well-known caretaker in the community, but she
also brought strangers into the house and force-fed them until they
were sick. Their father Jack, better known as the town drunk, threw
Wilson around like a rag doll for the amusement of his drunken
friends. And then there were Annabelle and Abigail, Wilson's
beloved sisters, whose neglected and tortured lives ended all too
soon.
A story of survival, "The House on Telegraph Hill," details the
abuse Wilson suffered and sheds light, not only on his own
demoralizing experience, but also on the epidemic of child abuse.
His brutally honest stories reveal all of the disguises,
sugar-coatings, and lies that abusers heap on their victims. By
recounting his dreadful upbringing along with his lifelong
struggles, Wilson is finally pushing his story to the forefront to
help educate others about the horrors and complexities of child
abuse.
