Publisher's summary

By the age of 13, vulnerable Sheffield teenager Samantha Owens had fallen through the cracks in the care system. Bounced around numerous foster carers after her home life became too chaotic, Samantha thought she had found a friend in the streetwise Amanda Spencer. The older girl bought her clothes, styled her hair and found her places to stay. Samantha's welfare was the last thing on Spencer's mind, however, as in reality she was grooming the young girl for exploitation of the worst possible kind.

Over the course of the next few months, Samantha was plied with alcohol and drugs and pimped out to over 50 men for Spencer's gain. Raped, abused and with no chance of escape, Samantha was at the mercy of the calculating, ruthless and intimidating Spencer. It took a police investigation of two years to bring her and a small gang of cohorts to justice, and in 2014, Spencer was jailed for 12 years. With her abusers in jail and Samantha bravely rebuilding her life, her shocking story is a stark warning to those who believe child sexual abuse follows any set pattern.

Mouth full

While this was a great book, incredible details and a captivating story, the narrator at times sounded like she was drooling almost. As if she had a mouth full of gum or needed to spit. At times It was a bit too much

sad life...but good read.

This is very touching...my heart broke for this young girl. She seemed so alone and desperate with no one to help her.

Heart-wrenching Account of a Childhood Lost

I work in community health. This story is not new, but nonetheless a stirring 1st person account of a child in a dysfunctional family, the tragic journey and eventual making of a new family. I loved the book and narrator.

pass on this

6 hours of her taking no accountability for any of her actions. choosing instead to blame her supposed best friend and all the tricks. Yes she was a minor. Yes she was gullible. yes what was done to her was wrong but she was a willing participant. Claiming mental rape. just admit you were weak minded and wanted to be accepted by a bad person. take some accountability. hated it. couldn't wait for it to end.
