Why am I passionate about this?
I'm a 24-year-old, 1st time Author with big plans to call for major changes within our current social system, to bring the taboo subject of child abuse, to conversation. My own story, yes is an extreme case, but isn’t an uncommon occurrence and affects many. My book, The Girl In The Pink Shoes, was written not only for my own self-help but to also help many others to know they are not alone and someone is fighting their corner. I hope my book will open the right doors to raise awareness and make my charity, Your Voice UK, a success and help bring a brighter future to children who have suffered abuse.

She writes from a fictional child's perspective and somehow manages to tackle some very difficult stories, with the respect that is deserved. The stories she writes about are brought to life in a very interesting and gripping way.
Just by reading this book, you can tell an incredible amount of research has gone into this book and is well worth a read.
1 author picked Abused To Death 1 as one of their favorite books, and they share why you should read it.
How can we prevent children from being tortured and murdered by their caregivers?

Baby P, whose nightmare intensified on the arrival of his mother’s sadistic boyfriend 3-year-old Jaquinn, who was burned with a blowtorch to punish him for bed-wetting Teenager Sylvia Likens, whose foster mother encouraged the neighbourhood children to sexually humiliate and abuse herI often tell the stories from the child’s point of view, with all fictionalised elements based firmly on the facts. In addition, you will…
