      "Kate Marshall is only eight years old when her parents split up and she is uprooted from the home she loves and taken to a brash new town where life is much tougher and rougher. Made to live in a pub where her mother is a barmaid, Kate is plunged into a world of coarse hard-drinkers for whom childcare and privacy are not a priority. Her paedophile Uncle Phil soon takes full advantage of the chaotic situation, and Kate is subjected to horrific abuses that go unnoticed--and even ignored--by the wayward adults surrounding her. Made to feel worthless and dirty, Kate learns patterns of behaviour that repeat themselves later in her life when, married far too young to an emotionally controlling fraudster, she hits rock bottom and suffers an eating disorder. Finding the courage to face her painful childhood, Kate brings her abuser to justice and turns her life around. Her story of hope after despair is a powerful reminder that we can change our lives as well as the lives of others who need our help."--Provided by publisher.
