Tortured: Abused and Neglected by Britain's Most Sadistic Mum. This Is My Story of Survival. by Victoria Spry

5.0

This book is a true life book. Victoria was abused by her mother as a child and throughout her childhood. Her mother did some appalling things to her. As a toddler, Victoria peeled the labels off tin cans, so you could not tell what was inside each one unless you opened it. Her mother, furious at her, made her choose a can and eat whatever what inside, which was cat food. This made her vomit, and her mother made her eat this. This is in the very first few pages of the book, and from the moment I read this, my heart went out to Victoria.

Victoria is such an inspiration. She talked about her childhood and how she managed to free herself, with the help of some friends, from her mother. Victoria talked about how she felt during the trial and spoke of her highs and her lows. This book is a sad read, but it is Victoria’s story of survival, as stated on the front cover of the UK version, and she is an inspirational individual.

This book is a 5 star book because it is an honest tale of one woman's life, and how she found the strength to survive.
