Born the third of eight children into a life of rural squalor in a farming community in the south of England, Faith Scott's infant world is already more challenging than most. Bewildered by the behaviour of her mentally ill mother and terrified by the violent outbursts of her perpetually angry father, the only certainty in life is that there is none. So when Granddad 'Pop' gives her sweets and does the horrid things he does to her, how is she to know that isn't what all Granddads do? And if it isn't, why does her mother find it so funny? Told with honesty and courage, this is the story of a little girl who never stood a chance - who was regularly abused in the most shocking ways by her family, who was preyed on by the worst kind of men, and who went on to have two children in her teens and suffer appalling domestic violence. After all this suffering she found the strength within herself to turn her life around, escape the nightmare and to seek help and recovery. After Faith's decades-long journey out of the darkness, she can now tell the full truth about her sad yet utterly compelling story. It is a story that is shocking and compelling in equal measure.
