Reader Reviews:
A book about the most evil stepmother from hell who is now out of jail (1/1 people found this helpful)
This book is about one of the most evil women in the world who succeeded in making her stepdaughter's life an absolute hell (to think that she was only sentenced to two years in prison for the torture she inflicted on a young child makes my blood boil). Donna's biological father was absolutely useless in defending his daughter and deserves to rot in hell alongside his evil wife. However Donna overcame the wickedness of her stepmother and became a successful person in her own right Donna - I wish you all the best for the future.
Refreshing (2/2 people found this helpful)
After reading well over 100 books on true stories, i've come across my fair share of abuse tales and this is up there with the best of them. Not only does Donna give you insight into the horrific childhood she endured but unlike most other books, goes on to demonstrate how abused children do not have to repeat the cycle and how it becomes possible to conquer the abuser in more ways than imaginable. To have Donna's life story told to the point of taking Helen (the abuser) to court and winning to the life she has created very successfully for herself is truely inspiring.
This is a book that is easy to read, well written and a must for anyone who simply loves to read. I just look forward to the next chapter of Donna's life and hope she once again has the patience to put her life onto paper.
