Welcome to my page! My name is Carla Greensmith and I'm a London-based author specialising on issues surrounding childhood sexual abuse and recovery therefrom. Below you can find the links to my social media for more information on my work. If you have any questions, or you would like to arrange an interview or appearance, I'm available via email.
I don't hold back any punches in my writing: my stories are deeply rooted in the harsher truths of reality, and always told from a position of personal experience. Albert Campus famously said "In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer". This is true for me also. I survived almost ten years of childhood sexual abuse, having moved to England as a six year old "German girl" unable to speak any English. With no place to turn, no wider family to turn to, at a time in history when there was no social media, not even a telephone in our home, I used my imagination to provide me with sanctity, even during the darkest of hours.
Sometimes you just need a second pair of eyes. If I can be that for you, give you a broader world view and inspire you to look beyond the boundaries of your own world, then all will have been worth it.
