Surviving a Childhood Nightmare

This book could be a good read for those interested in true stories about surviving abuse and overcoming adversity. It is a powerful and harrowing account of the author's experiences in a corrupt social care system, and her fight to bring justice to other victims. The book's most distinctive feature is its unflinching and raw portrayal of the abuse and mistreatment that the author endured, which will leave a lasting impact on readers. It is a gripping and inspiring story of resilience and bravery in the face of unimaginable trauma.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Thrust into care at six months of age because of an alcoholic father and mentally ill mother, Teresa Cooper's life began in a less than perfect way. Teresa spent an unsettled childhood in a variety of children's homes before being sent to Kendall House in Kent, which would become her prison and worst nightmare. At Kendall House, Teresa became a victim of a terrible regime, being injected with dangerously high doses of drugs and sexually abused. This cruel and vicious treatment, accompanied by punishments such as 163 days spent in solitary confinement, meant that it was not long before Teresa began to harm herself and even attempt to take her life. After three years of hell, Teresa thought her nightmare was over but another was about to begin. Teresa Cooper is a survivor. Fighting against a corrupt social care system, she has taken her case of abuse and drugging to parliament, and is fighting to prevent many more children from suffering at the hands of unethical doctors and abusive foster parents.
