Format:Hardcover
I read this book from cover to cover pretty much in one go. The strength and courage of the author shines through, in the way be dealt with his abuse and then took on the might of the prison service when he was further abused in prison. It should be compulsory reading for all those training to be social workers, magistrates, teachers and anyone else who has a role in child protection. it isnt an easy read, but it a compelling read. And you will cry as you read it.

I used to work with Stuart back in his Norweb days and I have to say that this does now explain some of his behaviour and a few of the things he told me about in the time we worked together. Stuart is a lovely guy and I am really glad to hear that he has now sorted himself out as he deserves to be happy.
On the flip side of this, I can well imagine that this book would help a lot of people who have suffered in this manner, as it shows you can get through and survive against the odds - sometimes accepting help is the hardest thing though and often for no fault of your own.
I think Stuart is phenomenally brave to have written about this for the world to read and I look forward to his next book.
All the best

Stuart, i too was abused mentally, physically and sexually as a child. I can so relate to your feelings of worthlessness, insecurity, fear and not liking myself for what happened. Your book made me cry almost from beginning to end, but i so admire your strength and courage to fight back. You are an inspiration to us all. I thank you Stewart and wish you and your family the happiness and joy you so deserve my friend. Thank you. Best Regards, Jude.
