Harrowing and inspiring

A tough book to read, no doubt. Tthe abuse and terror that these people have survived is beyond belief. The story is enthralling and you yarn to be able to help and makes things right for the small children they once were. Sophia, her mother, her brother Gerry and sister Michelle suffered rape, torture and disbelieving psychological abuse at the hands of their father. They told the guards, social workers, doctors, nurses, neighbours, anyone who would listen and nobody did anything. They endured hell and worse and i wanted to cheer at sophia's and her brother and sister's courage and bravery throughout. A must-read if only to show that in the face of horrendous evil, heros emerge.
