DESCRIPTION:
She describes the sexual, physical and emotional abuse she suffered at the hands of her stepfather and mother, who then sold her into marriage at the age of 16; the heartbreak she suffered when she naively left her 22 month old baby behind when she fled to London with the man she fell in love with, only to be abused by him for a further 23 years; the self-loathing, depression and despair she felt during those lonely years; and the enormous sacrifices she had to make to save herself and start a new life.. In this shocking memoir, Cassie
"Inspiring" according to Angela Blagden. Congratulations to Cassie for finally living her life. I pray her children will come out of their fathers home with minimal scars. I am sickened by her step father and mother and the fact that they went unpunished for their evil crimes against all of their children. I also hope that all the sisters may somehow reconnect and may have a relationship in the future. It's amazing how people can't drive without proving themselves able yet anyone can have children and no one qu. "I heard the cry" according to Unknown. When you hear this woman tell her story you are there with her and feeling things as if it were you. When she struggles to believe that "he won't do it again",albeit her step father or a husband, you want to reach out and set her free. Amazing Cassie.. What an experience! Bobbie This book is so sad. I kept thinking "Why doesn't she give up on him?" But then, what would I do in each of her traumatic experiences.While it was immensely tragic, it was so well written. She surely was the most abused person I ever knew of in my lifetime. So many years wasted for her hoping always to get someone to love her. I wish her all the best and hope all the children will understand someday and give her all the love she deserves.
