Barbara was 12 when she was admitted to the psychiatric hospital Aston Hall in 1971. From a troubled home, she'd hoped she would find sanctuary there. But during her stay, Barbara was systematically drugged and abused by its head physician, Dr Kenneth Milner.

Somehow, eventually, she started to campaign for answers. This is a shocking account of how vulnerable children were preyed upon by the doctor entrusted with their care.

l listened to this whole book in a day. I couldn't walk away. It was engaging and disturbing at the same time Gross misuse of power at the expense of our most vulnerable youth . Sad sad story but sadly one in several hundred thousands of survivors of abuse!! Recommend but may be disturbing to some. I've worked in child welfare for several years so it wasnt as shocking to me a it may be to some. Brilliant.

Devastating truth about corrupt people!!

The story and narration are extremely disturbing but revealing about child abuse on many levels in our modern society. Almost unbelievable but many know how real the abuse was.

Riveting, Unbelievable but an Honest memoir of an extremely horrible childhood.
