No Way Home: The Terrifying Story of Life in a Children's Home and a Little Girl's Struggle to Survive
Sue Martin was not three years old when she began life at her first children's home: a home that could at best be described as cold and regimented; at worst, torturous and terrifying.
When her mother abandoned her to the protection of the home, Sue was soon to discover that behind the welcoming doors of this reputedly kind-hearted organisation lay a world steeped in lies, cover-ups, victimisation and abuse. At its heart was Boagey, whose perverse bullying was targeted at Sue. Her attacks quickly progressed from the gratuitous punishment of an innocent child to sordid gratification of her sexual whims. Sue's story is one of institutional abuse - of physical, mental and emotional torture of the most appalling kind - but it also a story full of joy, humour and many victories - small and large - against her abusers. Utterly compelling and shockingly revelatory, No Way Home will astound, move and inspire.Format:Paperback

Plowerful story
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This is a powerful, moving account of a small girl dragged through one of Britains institutions during the 1940s and 1950s. Her struggle to survive not just physically but mentally is a testament to her own inward strengths and determination. Considering this is a true story it makes you wonder how many other children from the period could write such accounts.
