Description

The shocking story of how exceptionally violent abuse turned one girl to desperate self-harm before turning her life around.
Growing up, Sophie carried a terrible secret. She was her father's slave, in the most horrific ways imaginable. At just a few months old she was adopted by a couple that seemed comfortably well off and perfectly respectable to the outside world. But behind closed doors, Sophie's childhood was a living hell.
Her father spent the next decade grooming her for abuse and when Sophie's mother left for good, that very night, he told Sophie that from now on she would sleep in his bed. Unable to cope, Sophie spiralled into suicidal misery. She began to self-harm to try and escape the agony. But one day she went too far and at 16, ended up in a psychiatric unit. It was here that she finally confronted the horrors of home and began the painful journey of rebuilding her life. A phenomenally courageous woman, Sophie now works for the Samaritans and helps other young people in need.
Harrowing yet compelling, this is a searing and truly inspirational account of overcoming the worst abuse and self-harm.

It's a really inspiring book. It's very deep, personal and it's a hard book to read knowing its all true. Some of the stuff that happened is just so overwhelming and mind boggling. While reading this book I realized how many Nasty,cruel and no hearted people there are in the world. But over all I give it a 11/10. It's so amazing and Sophie Andrews is so strong to have lived though this and then many years later written a book about her journey and her spirit is just so amazing. The most heart touching book ive ever read.
