ABANDONED: The true story of a little girl who didn't belong

Product Information

A woman whose mother twice tried to kill her as a child has won a ground-breaking battle in the Supreme Courts for the right to claim compensation. She knew then that she would help keep her secret from their parents because, staring at baby Liam, she saw that her sister had been keeping secrets of her own. I even laughed at some of the mischief she got up to through what I can only describe as a truly horrific life experience for any human to go through never mind a child.

Paul Gallico - The Abandoned - 1st Edition / 1st and 2nd Printing before publication HCDJ 1950 published by Alfred A Knopf An eight-year old London boy named Peter, with a distant nanny and neglectful parents, is injured while rescuing a stray cat named Jennie from being hit by a car. Jennie and Peter will face many challenges—and not all of them are from the dangerous outside world—in their struggle to find a place that is truly home. I’ve read plenty of abuse books and whilst this isn’t the most graphic and shocking that I’ve read, her pain still cuts into you.You should be warned that if you hate cats you'd better not read this story, for it will so entertain you and instruct you in the ways of cats that your interest and liking will be aroused in spite of you. Kathy was only nineteen when she fell pregnant with me, and neither she nor her married lover knew what they were going to do.

Escaping into foster care, Monica would go on to experience horrific physical and sexual abuse at the hands of those she hoped would protect her.It was never going to be a happy story, and I was nearly in tears at points, but the highs and lows of the kittens life are honestly and emotionally described. Let me leave you with a tip someone gave me when I was stalled out, though I don't remember who: Don’t beat yourself up over time away from your work-in-progress. Personally, I prefer to not do either, especially now that I’ve been accepting books to review and requesting them from publishers.
