An inspirational true story of a 4 year old girl who fell into the power of a man whose evil knew no bounds. She encountered terrifying mental and physical torture from her psychopathic stepfather for a period of 17 years until she managed to break free, her spirit still unbroken Jane Elliott fell into the hands of her sadistic and brutal stepfather when she was 4 years old. Her story is both inspiring and horrifying. Kept a virtual prisoner in a fortress-like house and treated to daily and ritual abuse, Jane nonetheless managed to lose herself in a fantasy world which would keep her spirit alive. Equally as horrifying as the physical abuse Jane suffered, were the mental games her tormentor played - getting his kicks from seeing Jane humiliated, confused, crushed and defeated at every turn. Her family and neighbourhood were all terrified of Jane's stepfather so no-one held out a rescuing hand. So Jane had to help herself. When she was 21 she ran away with her baby daughter and boyfriend to start a new life in hiding. Several years on she found the courage to go to the police. A court case followed where Jane bravely stood up against the unrepentant aggressor she so feared. He was jailed for 17 years. Jane's family took his side.… (altro)

In dit verhaal beschrijft de schrijfster haar eigen ervaringen van haar jeugd. Vanaf haar vierde tot haar eenentwintigste is ze lichamelijk en geestelijk mishandeld en seksueel misbruikt door haar stiefvader. Haar moeder en broers hebben het laten gebeuren ook al waren ze er vaak getuige van. Als ze eenentwintig jaar oud is, voelt ze zich eindelijk sterk genoeg om het tegen haar stiefvader op te nemen en dient een aanklacht in. Zal er nu eindelijk een einde komen aan alle ontbering? Het is een in en intriest verhaal over mishandeling in een gezin. Het is af en toe moeilijk om door te lezen, vanwege de gruwelijke feiten die worden beschreven. Toch kan je het boek moeilijk weg leggen. De schrijfster hoopt met dit verhaal anderen tot steun te zijn en misschien iemand anders ook zo ver te krijgen om te vertellen wat er gebeurt.

This was a very hard book for me to read. At first I did not really understand why she let him do that to her even when she was an adult but then I started thinking of her family. Real white trash. They terrorized the neighborhood and everyone was scared of them.
We have families like that in The Netherlands too and people do not dare to complain cause they know they will be punished for it later.
What annoyed me mostly was that the mom got off free. No punishment at all while in truth it was mainly her fault. A mom is the one that should protect a child when there is no father or if a dad is abusive. if you cannot count on your mom, who can you trust? ( )

A horrible story. When it was chosen as our book club book the chooser did not realise it was on this subject. I have read similar books and am always apalled and horrified, I admire the courage of the author to relive the experience and hope it helps them but I do not widh to ever read this type of book again.

This book was a hard read. The frank look at abuse in many forms took me awhile to read because of the subject matter. I, like others, linked this book to A Child Called It, but the sustained nature of the abuse and the difference in types makes it a separately worthy book. ( )

When people talk about evil they are usually thinking of mass murderers like the fictional Hannibal Lecter or dictators like Adolf Hitler, but for most of us our actual encounters with evil are more mundane.
