Story
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....

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.

Story
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....

Publisher's Summary
The second of Kate Skylark's co-created true child-abuse stories.
Steve Gilbert is a charming, clever man. Lucy is his 10-year-old daughter. Lucy loves him to bits, just as all little girls love their daddies, and she is delighted to hear he has organized a special party for her. After all, little girls love parties. But Steve Gilbert is also a sociopathic, manipulative sexual predator. Brainwashed into accepting her father’s twisted view of the world, Lucy trusts him implicitly. Daddy will keep her safe; he will keep her happy. Daddy would never betray his little girl, would he? But as time goes on, Steve Gilbert’s evil manipulations escalate, and following a shocking string of events, Lucy’s innocent young life turns from simple happy childhood to an abusive nightmare. Only one person can save her now.
Lucy Gilbert and Kate Skylark are friends and confidants. They created this book together to help raise money to help children in danger.
Warning: This book is based upon a true account of child abuse and, as such, contains passages that some listeners may find disturbing.

Very hard to listen too
This book absolutely broke my heart and made my blood boil. If there was a room where someone came in and shot all the men those parties were definitely one room where I wouldn’t have cared if it happened. I almost didn’t listen to the end but I’m glad he and his so called friends got what they deserved even if it was far to late 😡😡

Braveheart
My heart went out to Lucy. The statistics in child abuse are way too high and often the predator is family or close to the family.
This little girl Lucy is such a strong girl even at the age of ten. I wanted to grab her and hug her and protect her. I cried how she had her childhood and innocence stripped away from her at the tender age of ten! By the man who should love abs protect her from this very thing.
I wish this beautiful strong, brave, courageous girl, now a lady, to share her story. I wish her every happiness her heart desires.
I was cheering her mum in the end. What an amazing woman she became. I was telling you go girl lol.
Thank you Lucy for sharing your story. You truly are a braveheart.
In short
I do recommend this book. But warning once you press play you won’t be able to stop. It is an amazing story.
