Abused by her stepmother between the ages of five and eleven, Donna Ford was labeled 'the bastard', the 'little witch,' and 'the evil one.' She was beaten, isolated, and afraid to even look at her own reflection by physical and mental abuse that eventually progressed to the most appalling sexual attacks. Despite an horrendous early life, Donna is now a successful artist and mother of three with an enormous enthusiasm and an optimism which completely belies her experiences. In 2003, Donna watched as her stepmother was found guilty of 'procuring a minor' for sexual abuse and sentenced to two years in prison.

This review is from: The Step Child: A True Story of a Broken Childhood (Paperback)
This was a good read, mind you it is a quick read. I finished it in a few hours. The writing is not exceptional, but what is exceptional is this woman. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading books of this nature.

Thank you Donna for writing this book, you are such a brave lady. I cried throughout the book and wish you all the best for you and your family..some people will comment just for the joy of hurting you, just like your stepmother. I say they are the ones that we should feel pity on....they know no better. Good luck.
