They degraded her to the point where she'd become this sex thing - this thing that wasn't human, but an object - to the point where she believed that's what she was.

The world of abuse and grooming gangs couldn’t have seemed further away from Kate’s start in life but, as so many young women now know, that matters little.

As Sir Keir Starmer’s national inquiry into grooming gangs begins, victims from across the country will share the stories of how they were targeted and their lives ruined. For Kate it was a situation that came out of the blue when, aged 18 and at college, her home life deteriorated and she found herself in supported housing for homeless teenagers in Telford.

That’s where she came into contact with an Asian gang who were grooming young girls for sex. One of the gang, who’d recently come out of prison, forced his way in and raped her before dragging her to a flat next door which the gang used for sex with underage girls, to publicly humiliate her in front of his friends.

They threatened her with violence if she went to the police. It was the beginning of a cycle of serial and brutal abuse and rape that is almost impossible to imagine.

She suffered mentally with PTSD being passed around between more than 70 men and taken to Morocco as a sex slave. Kate finally was able to report the abuse and some of the gang members were tried and sent to prison.

Kate became a Mental Health Nurse in a secure unit in forensic mental health, which ironically includes working with sex offenders. She‘s become highly skilled in what she does, having an in-depth and first-hand knowledge of the thought processes of groomers.©2026 Kate Elysia (P)2026 W.F.Howes ltd

This book kept me engaged from the very beginning. There were so many times when I found myself saying, “Why do you keep going back?” Yet, at the same time, I understood why she did. When someone has such a hold over your emotions and your sense of self, walking away isn’t always as simple as people on the outside might think.

What makes this book so powerful is that it takes you to places within yourself. Maybe we haven’t experienced the same horrific circumstances that Kate went through, but parts of her story make you look back at your own life, your own experiences and the choices we have made. It makes you ask yourself a lot of questions.

There were moments when I could relate to the emotions behind her story, and I think that is what stayed with me most.

Kate, all I can really say is thank you.

Thank you for your honesty throughout this book, from beginning to end. It takes enormous courage to put into words the things that so many of us keep hidden away, the things we bury so deeply that we never allow them to see the light of day.

The Patchwork Girl isn’t simply a story you listen to and then forget. It makes you think. It makes you question. And, in places, it makes you look at yourself.

A truly powerful listen that will stay with me for a long time.

A Powerful Honest Read that will Stay me
