thoroughly recommend it - Rated 
Some of you out there may find it strange that a man should wish to read such a title but for my own reasons i felt compelled to read this book.Once i started to read it i just coldn't put it down,i found it hard to believe that this sort of thing went on in the country where i lived, many of the passages throughout this book caused tears to stream down my face.The sort of inhumane abuse that this innocent girl & others like her suffered at the hands of those entrusted with there care were of the most disgusting & depraved i have ever heard of,i can only a liken it to the same evil as that of Joseph Mengele in Germany during the second World War.However,having read on through the book im glad that Teresa found the strength to ' choose life' & do the best she could for herself & her children. I hope that one day she receives some justice for what happened to her ! This has to be the most compelling book i have ever read, i would thoroughly recomend it ot anyone. Its a 'must read'!
I was in shock after reading this book. - Rated
I mean it-i was literally in shock-that in the 1980`s children were abused so shockingly while `in care.` I hope this dr. peri-whoever the hell this sicko is- has been brought to justice-and his cronies with him. Usually when we read these books, there is the abuser, and we are praying that someone in authority will intervene and help.In this case, we have just about everyone in authority okaying the abuse and telling teresa basically to just get over it ! I am so angry that not even one of these people had the common decency to say `just a minute..hang on...look at the state of her..let`s get help..` All i can say is i am so ashamed to live in a society that condones such treatment of children, and i am worried sick for all kids in care after reading this - even now. Certain people - and they know who they are - should be in prison ! Teresa i don`t know how you got through it, but the important thing is - you did - and now we all know about it. I am about to visit your website - and by the way - i loved your poem - it made me cry. You are such a talented, beautiful, and brave young lady. I will never forget you.
What an excellent book - Rated
This book was an excellent read. It was heartbreaking and very well written. Teresa Cooper is a brave lady to have written it and i wish her well in trying to bring justice to such cruel people.
Amazing Courage - Rated
This was a amazing story of courage and couldnt stop reading it. It brought tears to my eyes and unbelieveable that these staff got away with this kind of abuse and ill treatment. I even felt that i was being drugged while i was reading it. There is no justice in this world if these so called carers and doctors get away with this and even the authorities. A truly brillant book and Teresa Cooper is a very strong lady who is able to help others in similar situations. A definate must read.
At last the truth will out! - Rated
Teresa Cooper has gone through Hell and back, yet managed to have a lovely family and as normal a life as possible, total proof that those bruised by life do not turn into monsters themselves. As the powers-that-be, and media would have us wrongly believe.
This Book is un-put-downable, my heart ached, and I cried most of the way through as I read the pages, I felt useless, and ashamed that girls and boy's up and down this country have and still are experiencing the atrocities that befell Teresa.
We must do something, we are living in the 21st Century, for God's sake, and yet we walk around oblivious to what is under our nose's.
All the Children's homes and Foster homes in this country should be subjected to rigorous examination, especially where drugs are used regularly. How many other girl's and boy's were put through this sort of regime, and have not managed to survive it?
Teresa you are an inspiration, and I hope your courage helps others to speak up and be counted.
This book should be advertised everywhere, to help give a voice to those who cannot speak out.
