Histoire
Barbara was 12 when she was admitted to the psychiatric hospital Aston Hall in 1971. From a troubled home, she'd hoped she would find sanctuary there. But during her stay, Barbara was systematically drugged and abused by its head physician, Dr Kenneth Milner. Somehow, eventually, she started to campaign for answers. This is a shocking account of how vulnerable children were preyed upon by the doctor entrusted with their care.

Histoire
I was born and broken in Birkenhead, abused from infancy by a network of every kind of pervert from ‘thinks it’s love’ to ‘show it hurts’. I was unwanted, beaten, sold, swapped, photographed, filmed, left for dead, corrupted, blamed, betrayed, ignored and orphaned. But I was also born with a fire inside me. I call it my Phoenix Fire. I am no victim—that word only describes what happened to me. Nor am I a survivor because that implies I am over it. I am a Phoenix—a work in progress. This is my story....

Stephen Smith is the boy who did not exist. Born out of wedlock in the early 1960s, Steve's parents - both devout Catholics - had felt so 'shamed' by their son's illegitimate birth that they hid him away from the world by locking him in the cellar...for 13 years. Apart from a few admissions to hospital as a result of his 'imprisonment', Steve remained in the coal cellar of the family home where he was deprived of daylight, his childhood, school and human contact until he'd reached his teenage years.

When Jade Kelly met her new foster mother, she thought her prayers had been answered. Kindly Carol Docherty was everything her violent, drug-addicted mother was not. Loving and nurturing, she fed and clothed 10-year-old Jade and offered a life free of fear from near constant abuse. Or so Jade thought. As soon as social workers in Lancashire stopped their regular checks on Jade’s progress, Carol turned. Over the next six years Jade and three other girls were effectively kept prisoner in a bedroom she called the ‘bad room’ and subjected to unrelenting physical and mental abuse.

Emily has always felt like an outsider, so when a family friend takes her under his wing she is delighted. But soon it becomes clear that his motives are not all they seem. At the age of 11, Emily is groomed into being a ‘county lines’ drug trafficker. It is the beginning of a vicious cycle that sees her become prey to one abuser after another, involving a huge child-sex-trafficking gang. The scale of the abuse—at the hands of hundreds of men—is sickening, and at times it feels like there will never be an escape. But then, in the darkest of moments, a ray of light shines....

The tragic story of Susan Powell and her murdered boys, Charlie and Braden, is the only case that rivals the Jon Benet Ramsey saga in the annals of true crime. When the pretty, blonde Utah mother went missing in December of 2009 the media was swept up in the story - with lenses and microphones trained on Susan's husband, Josh. He said he had no idea what happened to his young wife, and that he and the boys had been camping in the middle of a snowstorm.

Description
You're not going home. You're not going anywhere. You're mine now.
Growing up in a deeply troubled family, 15-year-old Anna felt lost and alone in the world. So when a friendly taxi driver befriended her, Anna welcomed the attention, and agreed to go home with him to meet his family. She wouldn't escape for over a decade.
Held captive by a sadistic pedophile, Anna was subjected to despicable levels of sexual abuse and torture. The unrelenting violence and degradation resulted in numerous miscarriages, and the birth of four babies.... each one stolen away from Anna at birth.
Her salvation arrived 13 years too late, but despite her shattered mind and body, Anna finally managed to flee. This is her harrowing, yet uplifting, true story of survival.
Contains mature themes.

Horrific story...I almost couldn't finish.
Her story is absolutely the hardest book to read. After 30min I turned it off and swore not to finishnas it was so disturbing but I had to know that she got out and was safe. I have to admit I fast forwarded through parts I couldn't handle and had to finish it in one day because I couldn't let that evil man live in my head for too long. She is so strong for enduring that and still being able to move forward and survive. I don't understand the end. When you read it you will understand. Anna, I hope found peace.

Disturbing
Anna’s story is the most disturbing memoir I have listened to. At one point I didn’t think I could finish listening to her story. I couldn’t take any more of her torture. My heart bled for her and what happened to her during 13 years a captive angered me, but I needed to hear she was able to escape.
The story of her nana’s love and how that love became her salvation through the terror.
The performance was excellent. Clearly expressing the emotions of love, hate and fear.
Like Anna, I hope to numb myself of her story so it does not haunt my dreams.

The Stuff of Nightmares
Horrifying and haunting, this true story of kidnapping, enslavement and torture is worse than any work of fiction. That human beings are capable of such evil is just mind boggling, but so is the capacity of the human spirit to endure and heal. I hope the author continues to have a beautiful, fulfilling life after this unimaginable ordeal, and I pray that the sadists who held her captive will one day answer for their crimes. Well written and performed, this audio book will stay with me forever.

It'll keep you captivated to the end!
At first I was honestly horrified because after each time I'd listed to more of the story, I began to develop a deep loathing for the behavior of her captor and his family, and couldn't help but wonder...is that a religious thing? Are most Muslims like this towards women? But that's not fair because there are bad people in EVERY religion, and of every race. I think the most shocking thing to me was that while one man was responsible for her kidnapping and torturing her, his whole family allowed it to happen! I became frustrated as the book went on because you desperately prayed for her escape, and as a reader I couldn't understand how she could let so many opportunities pass her by (like hospital trips, police coming by, etc) but I kept reminding myself that she was mentally broken down and terrified. Then (without giving away any spoilers) when it did finally reach the point of her escape I felt let down, like the build up (as a story) was so intense but her actual escape was written so quickly, I was left feeling, "That's it?" However, once she'd gotten away, it was interesting to see her try and tackle life again afterwards. I would have greatly wished for more about what happened to him and his family, and even her children, but I know that's not easy because it's hard to know what ACTUALLY happened after she left as she wasn't there. All in all would I recommend this book? YES! I hope Anna has a healthy and happy life, she certainly deserves it! She deserves never to have been put through any of this in the first place, what PURE EVIL is in this world?! I wanted to rescue her myself and take her in, and care for her, I think anyone who reads this would want to do that for her too. I'm glad she wrote this book, her story deserves to be told. SHE deserves to be heard! And loved! And I thank her for her bravery in writing it. I would think this book would not only help other survivors, but also to help educate the world on the true horrors that can go on in a neighboring house without anyone really knowing.

Unbelievable
This story was the most horrific thing I have ever heard of. The life that Anna Ruston was forced to endure for so many years was so hard to hear. It made me so sad for her. The story was well told. It's hard to believe that such evil exists out there. I am glad that she was able to finally get away and tell her story to the world.

Well done but her story is one of the hardest and most graphic I’ve ever listened to. This book could be triggering to many. Anna’s story is an inspiration and the fact that she escaped such a monster is a testament to her strength.
