Mummy Knew: A Terrifying Step-Father. a Mother Who Refused to Listen. a Little Girl Desperate to Escape. by Lisa James
4.0
This book is gutting.
An intimate, searing portrayal of just how bad child and sexual abuse can get, and how horrible things can be for kids if they don't have anyone to protect them.
It's definitely not an easy book to read, and I imagine many won't be able to finish it. Books like this are so incredibly important, though. The simple reality of these stories being put into the world sheds light on the darkest shadows of the human psyche and makes people a little more aware.
