Rating: - I wanted to put it down but couldn't...
I read this book in a day, it was such a compelling but horrific story. This book really did open my eyes to the depravity of some people. My heart broke for poor Jodie, a child whose life was destroyed by people who should have been loving and caring for her. This book has disturbed me deeply.

Rating: - Damaged
Such a heartbreaking story and not for the faint hearted. The story goes into horrific detail of what this poor little girl endured and how the social services and foster parents before Cathy also let her down. I read this book in less that a day, I could not put it down. Have your tissues at the ready

Rating: - DISTURBINGLY EXPLICIT DESCIPTION OF ABUSE
It was impossible to put the book down and I read it in a few hours. The book incites very strong emotions ranging from anger, despair, sadness, frustration & revulsion to utter disbelief at the depravity of some human beings, the serious incompetence of the social services in this case and complete admiration for Cathy, the foster carer and her family. Defnitely worth reading but there should be a warning regarding the explicitness of the abuse.

Rating: - One of the most unique memoirs yet
I've read a fair amount of memoirs, there's a lot about now. But this is the first book i have felt compelled to write about, i finished this book in 2 days!!
This book is different in the way that it's written and the angle for which it's written. It is captivating, heartbreaking, and so insightful it would either convince you to become a foster carer or put you off for life.
A truly insperational book, not only for the victim but also for those who truly cared about her.
