2008-07-28 life story

I have just fnished reading this book and it mirrors a lot of my life. Reading this book was like reliving my life. I would like to say to the author "well done" for having the guts to put her "stepfather" away for what he has done to her and being able to share her life through this book. It seems hard to believe that a mother cannot know what is going on under her nose but i know it happens and a lot of people wonder why the child doesn't say something but when your such a young child you believe everything you are told so when the abuser tells you that he/she will kill your mum,grandparents,and anybody else you care about you do believe them and you keep the secret locked up inside. This book is really heartbreaking and will have you in tears but Sharons story needs to be told and If It were up to me i would make it law that social workers read these types of books, maybe then a lot of them wouldn't make so many mistakes when dealing with children who are at risk. I would like to wish Sharon well for her future.
