Publisher's summary

A shocking true tale of childhood abuse at the hands of a stranger.

Sophie Jenkins is living a happy life in the idyllic Dorset countryside when she meets Martin Brett, the man who will go on to abuse her and haunt her dreams for years to come. A momentary act of neglect leads to a horrible series of events that leaves her changed forever. Badly let down by the adults entrusted to care for her, Sophie’s life begins to spiral downward.

However, Sophie’s message is ultimately one of hope and empowerment. She is in the process of rebuilding her life when fate leads her to encounter her childhood attacker once again. The story ends with a truly shocking climax.

Warning: This audiobook is based upon a true story of child abuse and contains passages that some listeners may find disturbing. All names and places have been changed to protect the identities of the innocent. (Cover photograph is posed by a model and is used for illustrative purposes only.)

How could it happen, how could she not tell anyone...

Shockingly detailed physical and psychological tale of the abuse suffered by a poor little girl after having being served in a silver platter to a paedophile by her own mother.
Be that in 1972 or1922 it's incomprehensible how a parent could've been so foolish and carelessly neglectful, something that in the USA would've warranted prosecution. The narration was excellent.

A well written tragic story

This is an impressively open and honest account of child abuse. No details spared and she really answers the questions that pop up in your head while reading. So happy about the ending that occurred and her little bit of redemption.

Beautiful story

This was so devastatingly hard to listen to, but I felt like I had to finish. If she could suffer through such a horrible experience, the least I could do was listen. Thank you for sharing.

Child Abuse. Learn all you can.

There are so many twists and turns to the abuse children experience. This is a great example of how some parent's absolutely fail to protect their children. One bad decision and one unprotected night have adversely impacted this child's entire life forever. A must read for Guardians Ad Litem's and CASA's.

Honesty

I'd love to read all Kate has written, I feel this is a sad epidemic in the world who's victims have been forced into the shadows to suffer in silence and fear. Bravo for telling their stories. It was a great read as is the other offering on Audible

interesting

this story was terrifying and caused me to both be grateful about the changes to our education system (and hopefully parenting). It also made me curious as to whether or not it has changed enough to keep children safe.
