    Speechless!
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2019*

It is impossible to imagine more evil parents than this!  The incidents described were so horrible---sexual and verbal abuse, beatings, manipulation and deceit--there were times I could scarcely absorb the details. How does a child survive this? I do not know. Indeed, Keri's  story is among the saddest and most tragic I have ever read. I am happy for Keri's brighter moments, which she found in her nana and extended family, her sympathetic neighbours, and the teachers at her convent school. I especially appreciated that while the author conveyed her scepticism  about God, she was fair in her analysis of the religious instructors, and of women like Mam, who sought to help her. Bitterness, somehow, did not blind her soul to goodness, as well it might for a child so unloved and miserably treated. This is Book 1 of an amazing story I'll never forget. It's not for the faint of heart, with its shocking details and bad language; but, in this case, in my opinion, well worth the effort given the circumstances. This is a brutally honest retelling, not a sanitized one. Keri, you are an adult now. Thank you for your courage to survive against the odds, and to live above and beyond the darkness. Thank you for sharing your story with us. I pray you have found peace as you so richly deserve. May the Help of the helpless go with you now and always.

    AFTER YOU READ THIS YOU MUST SEE THE MOVIE ORANGES AND SUNSHINE - KIDS FROM BRITIAN SENT TO SLAVERY IN AUSTRALIS TRUE MOVIE

I think your mother is a sick woman and used you to get attention by muchowsine by proxy (spelling?) i believe everything you have written and i imagine there is alot u didnt write. i am getting ready to start your second book and i know, i hope and believe, that you broke that viscious cycle your mother started. and no one helped you and your step father is a bastard pig. your mother had to know and i hope that she dies a slow painful death. i imagine she is still not happy in her life. yuor nana really disappointed me and for you that must of been defeating. i took the book on vacation and found myself feeling your pain and tears cried for you. your mother resented you bc ur father left her and then her dad disowned her so of courese she will blame you. she should of gave you up for adoption or ha nana raise you. why she kept you to torture you in beyond belief. i am sorry you had no help from anyone. the social workers police the house for girls with those perverts as well. thats rampany everywhere and of course ur trouble so who will they believe. but i imagine in some way karma got to every persson that wronged you is some way. the world is cosmic like that and no matter when or where or how their time for pain will come, hopefully agin and again. thank the lord for people like sylvia and mam, who tried to help you as best the could. and russell grew up only knowing what your demented mother and disgusting step father told him. you mother is a disgrace to all mothers and women. i hope she reads some of these. i believe every word you wrote and not for attention but for you to heal and let the world know of the evil against children can be right in front of your face. i recomment the movie oranges and sunshine bc during the 1960 1970 and 1980 children from poor families, single parents, troubled kids, adoption, etc were sent to australia on a boat. britian didnt want them and the children thought they were going to a better place and maybe a home. NOT they were sent there as sex slaves cleaning slaves. as soon as the got off the boat they were stripped of all their belongings. brothers and sisters seperated. the parents of these children when they were able to get them back was told by the government that they had been adopted and they told the children who asked that their parents had died or didnt want them. they just shipped them over there to be done with the care$$ for them. their names got changed they didnt know who they were. the social worker in this movie is astounding as she investigates the life of the children. the boys were sent to build a church for the pedophile priest that is still standing to this day. at the end of the story tony blair acknowledges this gross "pact" with australia. who would believe in the 1980's this was still happening and the government covered it up kept it secret. australia did not pay or help these children they accepted them as slaves for their people. so yes keri i believe everything in your first book and in the second as well before i even read it. look at the world today....look into the childrens eyes...... thank you for sharing your life with us readers. my blood still boils for everyone who hurt you especially your mother mayy she be sent to purgatory not hell and i am not even a very religious person let her suffer for eternity and all the others as well but her that gross woman to even be called a woman suffer suffer suffer.

    Heartbreaking and really makes you doubt the system
  

*by E***O on Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2013*

I dont know what made me pick this book, and then I immediately had to read the next book, and I was all ready to read the 3rd book but it's not even out yet!  This book really affected me emotionally.  I truly felt depressed while reading it, that's how much a part of her life you feel while reading this.  Sadly, there really is lots of scum out in the world, and this poor girl really got her share.  I could really relate to some of her issues, even those I did not share growing up.  I foud her to be brutally honest, and believable.  It's a true shame that not one person helped her out of the awful family she was dealt.  I am disgusted with all of those who chose to turn their backs on her.  Even the few that believed or witnessed the abuse and neglect did nothing to help her.  I would LOVE to get my hands on her mother, just give me 5 minutes alone with her...
