Summary
Thrust into state care at six months of age because of an alcoholic father and mentally ill mother, Teresa Cooper spent an unsettled childhood in a variety of children's homes. At age 13, she was sent to Kendall House in Gravesend, Kent, a home which soon became her prison and worst nightmare. Teresa found herself a victim of a terrible regime: she was injected with dangerously high doses of drugs and sexually abused. As a result of this cruel and vicious treatment, accompanied by punishments such as 163 days spent in solitary confinement, it was not long before Teresa began to harm herself and even attempt to take her life. After three years of hell, Teresa thought her nightmare was over but another was about to begin. Teresa survived, however, and today she works to fight against a corrupt social care system. She has taken her case of abuse and drugging to Parliament, and is fighting to prevent many more children from suffering at the hands of unethical doctors and abusive foster parents. Teresa single handedly fought for the current CofE Kendall House review and helped settle many cases related to Kendall House. Teresa's story has appeared in the media on a regular basis and made world news several times. After a long and exhausting battle for justice, Teresa exposed the shocking legacy Kendall House left behind and the church later admitted: The children and grandchildren of Kendall House residents, were later born with birth defects. How many generations will suffer the legacy a church run home created?

harrowing.
I would like to get out the way first, I only gave the performance 2 stars as the narrator was a little hard to listen to. She kept mispronouncing words, and now this will sound weird, but she sounded like she had a mouthful of water. Such a wet sounding pronunciation of words.
Now the true, harrowing story. It was absolutely heartbreaking that no one would listen to her, and she was just filed as a hypochondriac, a disturbed child. People should listen to children and young adults more. I truly hope Teresa finds some peace in her adult life.

My admiration for Teresa Cooper knows no bounds
Teresa Cooper a woman whi as a child faced/endured a childhood no xgild should ever have to face. How she survived is down to her strength and willpower when all seemed lost, she prevailed. Her fight to bring justice for all the children that suffer or go unnoticed at some care homes is an endless mission but much needed for future reference in order to stop this being repeated.
This was harrowing listening at times but a story that needs to be heard.
I wish Teresa and her family all the best.
She must learn to take care of herself not just others.

awful
this book has many issues. 1st is sounds like it was recorded in someone's toilet. very poor sound quality.
2nd it feels as tho the story was written by a 12 year old.
I found all very repetitive.
