Twelve-year-old Patsy has been physically abused by her white, middle-class, older parents for as long as she can remember. One day she decides she's had enough, so turns to her friend, thirteen-year-old, Josh, and his black, council estate parents, Ma and Pa. She experiences kindness and affection for the first time in her life. The Police get involved and life becomes increasingly complicated for Patsy until she goes to live with relatives. She settles down only to find that life is not quite what it seems in her new home. As if this is not enough, she then discovers that her own life is not what it seemed either. Patsy feels that she's not a proper anything.

When Petra, 14, meets Marvin, 28, she believes she’s found the one, but events soon take a dark turn, and she finds herself trapped in a sex trafficking network from which there is no escape. This is a heart-breaking story about survival and resiliency in which the emotional and psychological struggles of the central character will resonate with readers. Based on reality, it will expand the knowledge and understanding of adults of all ages about the often-unspoken dangers in today’s world.

This book is a heart wrenching novel of survival and hope that follows Georgie from the age of three to seventeen along a dark, unpredictable journey as she faces abuse and destitution. We see that with God all things are possible as He rescues her from forced prostitution to Salvation through his people.

Frankie is a survivor of childhood sexual, physical and psychological abuse (see Eveleigh's first book, One Small Word - Surviving childhood abuse). This sequel follows Frankie from the age of fifty until the present. She discovers during her working life that abusers look for vulnerable people to abuse. She encounters several perpetrators throughout her working life, and learns to use the word, 'No' when confronting them - just as she did when she stopped her father abusing her at the age of fourteen.

Fifty-year old social work student, Frankie, is on work experience when she is suddenly triggered, and finds memories flooding back into her mind of the childhood sexual, physical, and psychological abuse she suffered at the hands of her father, which she had long suppressed. She seeks counselling and takes readers with her on the journey through the painful and heart-breaking recollections of her childhood experiences that come to light as she speaks to her therapist. She remembers some good times, but the raw emotions that surface as she recalls the many instances of the abuse that she suffered, overwhelm her at first. Each time, she goes away, analyses, and learns from her experiences, gradually understanding the ways the abuse has and continues to affect her adult behaviour. She then finds ways of turning around her negative experiences into positivity, healing and hope for the future, so that she can become the good social worker that she wants to be. The author’s writing is honest and impactful, and the use of imagery throughout this memoir really puts readers into the author’s perspective, providing a whole new understanding of those affected by childhood abuse. You will feel the raw emotions that went into the writing of this evenly paced and engaging story. This memoir is a powerful read not to be missed - a remarkable story that needed to be told.
