You just have to read this book ... - Rated
I admire Anya for telling her true story. And for keeping her chin up in this miserable time.
I won't spoil the story but all I can say is that I can recommand this book. Once you start reading you can hardly stop because you get so attached to this story that you just need to know what happens next.
How unhappy and abused can one child be ..? - Rated
There is no end to the abuse little anya suffered-physical, sexual, emotional, mental- she endured mental torture that would break any adult. I had tears rolling down my face page after page. One reviewer said anya didn`t know what happened to her uncle - but yes she did - she said he went to prison for several years and she saw him again after his release at `mummy`s` house. It`s hardly a surprise to find out who her real father is-yet you are still shocked at the simplicity of it all..Her real parents are not at all short of money, and they must have had an idea that anya was suffering-i can`t understand why they allowed it to continue. Everyone in this story suffers in some way-except anya`s real parents-yet they are the cause of it all. `The sins of the fathers will be visited upon the children`-comes to mind. I was disgusted and sickened to my stomach when anya`s `mummy` took her husband back. Some women are so weak they will accept anything ! Poor anya-you really have been through it haven`t you ? I was soooo proud of you when you broke your silence-i thought `yes !` I do hope life is being kinder to you now-you have made a lot of friends through this book-you won`t be easily forgotten. I`m going to have a look at your blog now. x
Great Read - Rated
This is a great book I read it in one day, I just couldnt put it down. The author has to be admired for her strength and survival skills.
Excellent read - Rated
I read on the internet of someone who says this story is made up but it seems totally believable to me, EXCEPT I was a bit suspicious that her father (who she called Uncle - not her real father) got arrested for sexually abusing her and she states that she never found out what happened to him after the arrest but she "assumed he went to prison". She was after all almost a teenager by this time - surely she would know whether or not he went to prison. However, assuming this book is true you will find it to be a book you can't put down - and it will also make you look at homeless people in a more understanding light.
excellent - Rated
This is by far one of the best books I have read in years. A truly inspiring story about a girl abused as a child, who subsequently graduated with a law degree, ended up homeless and living in her car. This book is about the harsh reality of sexual, physical and emotional abuse suffered by thousands of children across the world, and the courage and strength the author has shown.
