Hello Joe, I would just like to say That i was shocked reading your book, I knew things like this happened but not to the extream like your story it just proves how much i live in my own little bubble of life.
Growing up i was never told of storys like this. I only knew things like this happened by reading the news papers and listen the news. Only when having my own 2 kids you start looking out for them and anyone around them. I dont know what i would do if anything like that would happpen to my kids.(i would die)

Its a shame because you were all alone really with know one to talk to and my heart goes out to you and i am so pleased you have found your soul mate and life for you is Good. I just hope you live life to the max and fullfill all your dreams. you will always have a place in my heart even though i have never met you i feel like i know you in a little.

I HOPE YOU PUT THEM NASTY MEN AWAY FOR GOOD!!!!

Dear Joe,
I have just finished your book and am really touched by your strength, bravery and hope. Although I am not a native speaker of English your story went straight to my heart. At times it felt really uncomfortable and like a curious onlooker who is unable to change what is going on. It's just a thing which has, luckily, never played a role in my life. Now I understand that looking away doesn't mean that horrible, inhuman things don't happen. Your story has made me much more aware of what is really going on in our world.

I just read your book in 2 days, i couldnt put it down. The life you had, wow, you are an extremly strong person for staying alive for one and for coming out of all this as a better person and not like the people who put your through so much hell growing up. I honestly couldnt ever imagine what you went through. I am extremly close with my mother and reading you book made me wonder how any mother could ever treat her children like that. But your an amazing person for getting through all of it and coming out a better person and showing your own children what it is like to have a loving family and parents who really love them. Good for you. Thank- you for telling your story, very strong, and it was hard just reading it nevermind going through all of that.
Best of luck to you and your family.

Dear Joe,
I have just finished your book and I have to say it was amazing and completely unputdownable. Although repulsed at the things your cruel family did to you I was intruiged and read this in a couple of hours. I can't believe even after going to the police you were dismissed as being a troublemaker! And to think after all you went through there was still no-one there at the other side and you were forced to pull through alone. I'm looking forward to your second book. Well done for telling your remarkable story, I'm glad you are finally happy and at peace now.

Hi Joe

I bought your book to read on holiday and could not put it down for a second!....I cried so hard I could hardly read it at times. I talked my friend who was with me through each chapter so she could understand what I was crying about. Your story has really made me realise how lucky my life has been and made me appeaciate everything around a bit more. My heart felt so hurt by everything you went through and I wanted to be there to save you. It horrifies me to think there are people out there and who are probably closer to me than I know that are capable of such actions towards others...especially to defenceless children who cannot fight back. I am so happy you have found happiness in your life....you are very brave to of gone through what you have and survived. You are an inspiration to all. I have passed your book on to my family to raise awareness and educate others. Stay strong. Sending lots of love Natalie xx
