Echoing among the Blue Ridge Mountains were the cries of newborn babies that disappeared into the night. The screams of children nearly drowned out by the sound of crickets. A girl, hidden and waiting to be found, terrified, and confused. The fireflies sparkling in the woods, bringing light to darkled places.

Story
I was born and broken in Birkenhead, abused from infancy by a network of every kind of pervert from ‘thinks it’s love’ to ‘show it hurts’. I was unwanted, beaten, sold, swapped, photographed, filmed, left for dead, corrupted, blamed, betrayed, ignored and orphaned. But I was also born with a fire inside me. I call it my Phoenix Fire. I am no victim—that word only describes what happened to me. Nor am I a survivor because that implies I am over it. I am a Phoenix—a work in progress. This is my story....

My Prison without Bars is a courageous and harrowing journey through the catacombs of hell, from the mind and voice of a little girl, living with her own monster underneath her bed. Written in first person, this novel is not a memoir, but more a psychological thriller based on true events; chronicling one woman's attempt to claw her way out of the darkness of Child Sexual Abuse, while struggling to find normal, in a not-so-normal world. It is poignant, dark and graphic; not for the faint of heart.

In the fall of 1999, a 22-year-old woman was discovered naked and bleeding on the streets of a small New Mexico town south of Albuquerque. She was chained to a padlocked metal collar. The tale she told authorities - of being beaten, raped, and tortured with electric shock - was unthinkable. Until she led them to 59-year-old David Ray Parker, his 39-year-old fiancee Cindy Hendy, and the lakeside trailer they called their "toy box." What the FBI uncovered was unprecedented in the annals of serial crime.

Absolutely excellent
Well written. I know many women that have or is going through similar circumstances will see themselves. It will give them inspiration to continue to live and hope. To never give up no matter how hopeless. Also, to know that the most important thing to find true happiness within, lays within themselves. Excellently written and difficult not to listen through to the end in one sitting.

Called from the aspect of the house she lived in
The book was a bit confusing to me at first, and then, after doing some research, I realized that the story is told from the viewpoint of the house she lived in, and each character had an insect name. It was definitely a weird book, although the memoir was really good!

The story started out very confusing, but once I realized the book was written in the view of her house (I think it's her soul, deep down), I couldn't stop listening. Her story was one of the worst I've heard. I'm proud of her for telling her story, I know it wasn't easy. The narration was good as well.
