This book is not for sensitive readers!
Genre: Biography
“An uncle who went too
far, a mother who didn’t care” – This is the ‘catch line’ on the front of the
book…
Sweet cheese on
toast! The horror in this book… Little Laurie’s mother hates her and abuses
her. But her Uncle Andrew loves
her. He’s showed her that. But it’s not love. He sees a vulnerable child that he can
manipulate and groom, and he does, and not just for himself but for an entire
cult of ritualistic child abusers. And
she’s not the only one.
The horrors of Laurie’s
childhood are forever trapped in this book.
It was a captivating read but the ending was blunt, although captivating isn’t really the right word, more
like gripping. The horror grips you and
doesn’t let you go right until the very end.
Seeing life through Laurie’s eyes is enough to make your stomach
turn. I couldn’t even cry for her, I was
too shocked.
I think Laurie should
be congratulated. It must have taken a
lot of bravery to be willing to share her story. Her ordeal.
She must have scratched open so many of her old wounds and felt the pain
so she could tell the world what happened.
To confront her abuser for what he did and her mother for what she
didn’t.
