I read it in two days and found it was so well written, without being too unreadable and whilst reading it a feeling of total sorrow for what you had to put up with and for such a long time and how the authorities would not believe you - which is so tragic that they probably didnt have sufficient trained people to understand what you were going through and such a shame you had no friends who you could trust apart from you one later in life but then he moved away. It does make you realise how normal every day life is taken for granted, we come across people (either in our lives or read through the papers) but I don't think anyone can understand completely what you went through. The main reason I actually read your book is because I knew it had a happy ending and that is the most important thing that you came through this such a stronger person and made you theperson you are today for which I am sure many value, love and honour your name and value all the good work you are doing.

Anyone who has suffered because of the actions of other people in their lives. All my life I have lived a lie, kept secrets and lived a life of pretend. Like many other 'victims' I had to be quiet, threatened with awful consequences if I told anyone the truth. As I grew stronger, I made a promise to myself and the little girl who was me, that one day I would tell the world about these threats, the lies and the pretend. I am strong now, and yes brave enough to want to tell the truth. The truth that is sadly, the truth of many people whose young lives were destroyed by their abusers. Living under the fear of reprisals I kept silent, the two people who hurt me are dead now and so I am safe to tell it as it was. But now I find I can't, can't tell the truth unless I 'pretend' to be someone else. It is as though, the people who hurt me are being protected, that the 'law' is colluding with my abusers. This can't be right. I have written my autobiography under a pseudonym.This is how I feel about this.This isn’t just about me but about anyone strong or brave enough to tell their story.

There were times I felt sick to my stomach. My God! My God! So many time I said that while reading. I have read a lot of books but this one literally made my jaw drop. You Joe are an amazing person. I am so sorry for what you went through. I am very curious to what your illness is now. Please let me know so that I can pray specifically for you. God Bless.

When I read your 1st book I cried...something I dont do easily.It is impossible for someone like me who had a happy childhood+loving parents to really comprehend just what it must really have been like for you to go through all the things you suffered.To think that your own mother could treat you like that makes me sad and angry beyond belief. I have just finished reading the new book.Im so glad that you finally found happiness+your sole mate.After what you went through even after you escaped to your 'new life' you deserve all the happiness in the world.I really hope with all my heart that you live 'happily ever after' If anyone deserves that It's you. You really are a true inspiration....and Im sure the work you have been doing has helped so many people.It's just so sad that anyone has to go through these things in the first place. Good luck for the future Joe+may you have a long happy life from now on.xx Hi Joe,
