About this listen

 Constance's mother systematically abused her daughter, both physically and emotionally, throughout her childhood. Regularly beaten and starved, the girl was so desperate she took herself off to Social Services and tried to get taken into care. When that failed, she swallowed bleach 'because it kills all known germs and my mother always told me I was a germ'. When Constance was thirteen, her mother simply moved out, leaving her daughter to fend for herself: there was no gas, no electricity and no food.

But somehow Constance found the courage to survive her terrible start in life. This is her heartrending - and ultimately triumphant - story.

This was the book that pushed me to work in the social sector. I read it first in my native language and more in English and I must say that it managed to convey the same emotions to me as years ago. It is a book full of drama, hope and revenge.

Great

Stunning, and beautiful but a terribly disturbing story written in a child like manner. Would recommend but not if it may become triggering

Harrowing

The story is very sad, she had a very hard life however the person reading the book(the author) has the most annoying voice, thought the story could have been written better, a lot of swearing in the story + a lot of unanswered questions.

Sad story but story tellers voice is so annoying
