review 1: Gripping story, really sad and found myself shouting out in rage and sheer frustration at the so called adults in place to help children. I also felt such sadness that a child had to grow up with such a wicked nasty excuse for a mother, I truly hope that keri's mother has read the book, and that she is also aware that thousands of people now know the truth about the disgraceful way she treated her daughter
review 2: This was, by far, the most sickening account of child abuse I have ever read. The fact that it was (IS) such a long, continuous, UNRELENTING story cannot be stomached. It is the story of a girl that is abused by her mother and step-father for so many years, with so many people told, that it is hard to believe. That so many people could turn a blind
... moreeye is unfathomable. It's a wonder that so many kids are taken away from parents that DO love them while this girl was relentlessly pursued by her mother only to hurt her time and time again. Everything she went through (and is still going through) is gut-wrenching. The hardest part for me though, is the ending. This is the longest memoir of this type that I have ever read and the details do not let up, nor does the abuse. The one person that gives up on her at the end made me so sick I could do nothing but cry for her. I researched Keri after reading this story and found her on Twitter. I was so profoundly disturbed and moved that I reached out to her - and she actually replied! She thanked me for some of my comments and told me little about her current life but would not divulge details about the next book. At the time (Aug. 2012), she said the next book would be out by the end of the year - it was released Oct. 2012. I will be reading it soon, even if it is with a heavy heart and mind. I urge everyone to pick it up and read it through. It's hard but it needs to be seen; people need to WAKE UP to this in our society even today! less

It's very hard to take in so much happening to one poor, defenceless child.
