You are certainly the bravest person I have come accross and I admire your stamina and self respect to survive what you did. You have moved me in a way I have never experienced and will be in my thoughts fo a very very long time. I just wish I knew if there was a child suffering close by that I could help as I am sure there are many. Enjoy the rest of your life your dad would be very proud ! you are truly amazing!

You are an amazing strong person and i wish you the very best for the future! xxxx Hi, just finished reading your book, i couldnt put it down, it wasn’t an easy read. i wanted to get to the end and see how your mother suffered when the authorities finally found out.

I have worked with young people for a number of years some of which have had difficult and disruptive lives. However many of them now have the support and safety to make a start at attempting to move on with their lives. It is the young people still suffering that I worry about. Hopefully with awareness being raised by people like yourself we will be better placed to look out for the signs of abuse and the possible abusers. One thing that disturbs me most of all though from reading your book is that all of the sick individuals you talk about got away without punnishment... Or have I missed something? Good luck with your future goals, Kala. Just finnished reading your book and I felt compelled to contact you.

I just wanted to tell you that as a person who was constantly beaten by her mother, was abused by 3 different men starting at the age of 5, I feel that in some ways I could connect with what you were going through. I cannot however, even begin to realise the other torture that you had to endure. I too had problems trusting anyone who ever tried to get close, or showed me kindness! Who knows, maybe one day will find the courage to speak out and name and shame these people! I too now have a family and a very understanding husband, and think, despite the demons, have grown into a fairly well balanced human and a good parent. I have never hit my kids, and have always wanted the best for them in life! I too wished for your situation to change with the start of each chapter... hoping that some way... somehow... someone would see your suffering and rescue you, alas, as in so many of these cases, it wasn't to be! Anyway looking forward to your next book, take care Joe, and well done for not letting them beat you! You are a very special person! Sharon x Hi Joe
