Damaged

Such a heartbreaking story and not for the faint hearted. The story goes into horrific detail of what this poor little girl endured and how the social services and foster parents before Cathy also let her down. I read this book in less that a day, I could not put it down. Have your tissues at the ready

DISTURBINGLY EXPLICIT DESCIPTION OF ABUSE
|
|
It was impossible to put the book down and I read it in a few hours. The book incites very strong emotions ranging from anger, despair, sadness, frustration & revulsion to utter disbelief at the depravity of some human beings, the serious incompetence of the social services in this case and complete admiration for Cathy, the foster carer and her family. Defnitely worth reading but there should be a warning regarding the explicitness of the abuse.

One of the most unique memoirs yet
|
I've read a fair amount of memoirs, there's a lot about now. But this is the first book i have felt compelled to write about, i finished this book in 2 days!!
This book is different in the way that it's written and the angle for which it's written. It is captivating, heartbreaking, and so insightful it would either convince you to become a foster carer or put you off for life.
A truly insperational book, not only for the victim but also for those who truly cared about her.

I cried for that little girl that had been through so much!But I also admired Cathy for doing her utmost to help her, even though her own family suffered. I wish there were more people like Cathy out there! Thanks for your story, It was Sad, heart rendering and above all so well put together, no one who reads it will escape a tear.
