A British Charitable Institution? - By: Joan H. Hammond, 11 Aug 2008 
Sue Martin's harrowing account of the physical & mental abuse & tortue at the hands of so-called carers has changed my perception of the charity under which she was placed. It is certainly one I'll never give to again. Not until they explain such treatment & what they intend to do to atone for their unspeakable inhuman behaviour towards children.
Inspirational - By: S. Davies, 29 Apr 2008 Once I started reading Sue's book I couldn't put it down. A very moving, at times very distressing account of what life could be likein Children's Homesin the 40's & 50's What also comes across is Sue's courage, strength of character & determination to beat the system. I look forward to the sequel.
WHAT A GIRL !! - By: Leeds lass, 27 Mar 2008 This is absolutely worth reading ! Sue goes through terrible torment & abuse, but what a personality she has ! She works outin her own child`s mind how she`s going to deal with everybody - & carries it through - & it works ! One important fact you learn from this book - it`s not always men that abuse children.....
Brilliant book.... - By: PEETEEGEE, 15 Feb 2008 I read this book after it being recommended to me by my daughter & I felt compelled to write this review to let everyone know just what a brilliant book it is! From the moment of starting it, I just couldn't put it down. I'm not a fast reader so it took me a few days to read it despite this but I loved every minute of it. Her story is both tragic & heart-wrenching & enables one to be able to put their own troubles & hardshipsin perspective. My heart goes out to the author & all those children who suffered through similar experiences. So if you haven't read this book yet, please do so. I just hope that a sequel is forthcoming soon because I can't wait to find out what happens next...
A moving and inspirational book.. - By: M. A. Gallagher-Lane, 14 Jan 2008 From the moment I started this book I couldn't put it down! I criedin many places but was also inspired by Sue's courage & fortitude. She is an inspiration to us all! This is without a doubt one of the best books of it's kind I have ever read & I have read a great many of them!
I would also like to point out that this review is not at all influenced or biased by the fact that I have known Sue & her family personally for many years. She is a wonderful person, full of warmth & generosity & a terrific friend, mother & grandmother. I am proud, not only to know her but also for her amazing couragein sharing her story with the world. Well done Sue!
