About this listen

 'Della's story is tragic, shocking and heart-breaking, but she must be heard. Della is an inspirational and dedicated campaigner who I've been proud to support. Her book eloquently portrays her past vulnerability and her steadfast determination to help others. A must read' Sarah Champion, MP

'I'd been the unwanted child, the little girl who got in the way. I swore I'd put my abuser behind bars and I'd fight with every breath in my body against the life sentence he'd given me. This was my time.'

Della Wright is an incredible campaigner for the rights of abuse victims after suffering a lifetime of betrayal.

Left alone at home for the first time at only two years old by those tasked with her care, Della was let down first by social services. When known paedophile Terry Price entered her life when she was six, moving into her home, he would groom and sexually abuse her for the next five years. Even the sight of a little girl going to his probation meetings wasn't enough to make the authorities act.

After a lifetime of violent relationships and mental health problems, Della eventually managed to put her childhood abuser behind bars for 22 years, a decade after first going to the police. He had changed his name multiple times to evade detection for his many crimes.

As an ambassador for the Safeguarding Alliance, Della now campaigns to ensure offenders cannot slip through the net by giving themselves new identities. She has vowed to try and stop anyone experiencing the same neglect, betrayal and abuse she did.©2022 Della Wright (P)2022 Bonnier Books UK Abuse Adventurers, Explorers & Survival Child Abuse Dysfunctional Families Dysfunctional Relationships Parenting & Families Relationships Inspiring Heartfelt

Extremely harrowing story as a survivor from sexual abuse, I fully understand most of it. However, by the time Pete comes into her life I started to feel anger towards her. I can only go on what is said in the book however, why she was letting her mum have full contact and let in her children go on holiday with their mum unsupervised and her abusive partner “Pete” is beyond me, final two hours of the audiobook. I find it really difficult to listen to as I felt like she was not protecting her children. What is a truly awful thing to say, however, why you would keep letting them get into those abusive situations with horrible people is beyond me. I wouldn’t recommend this book to any survivors of abuse, especially for those who now have young children.

It’s an incredibly difficult isten as the story is so upsetting but towards the end, you literally start to question the choices. She is making now that she is older and her children are 10 years old.

Maybe I’m being far too harsh, but as someone who went through something very similar, I cannot comprehend why she would let her mum have access to the children especially if you are not 100% sure your mum didn’t know everything that was going on.

Harrowing story, but towards the end she was still making bad choices

Most horrific life abuse story i have EVER read and i have read thousands of books in my lifetime. I had to take a week break from any other reading after I finished this book in a day! What a sad sad sad world we live in.
I hope the survivor of this story will find a peace and kindness in the end xx

What a raw and honest read. Della really captured her story well and so insight for the failings of the professionals in her life.

Honest, insightful and heartbreakingly strong

It’s unbearable that a child should experience such a childhood and not be protected. Every social services member of staff should listen to this.

Captivating and well presented book.
