From No.1 bestselling author Toni Maguire comes a new true story of abuse and survival.

'Small children have no say in the direction their lives take. Even before they have learnt to walk and talk, they are trained to obey'

Daisy was only four when her parents told her and her older brother that they were moving halfway across the world to Australia for a better life. Leaving everything behind, including her beloved grandparents, she stepped into an unfamiliar world. Daisy's close and unbreakable bond with her disabled brother helped her navigate her new life, until tragedy repeatedly struck the family.

After her parents' split and she was introduced to her new stepfather, nothing could have prepared her for what followed. All alone in 300 acres of wilderness, Daisy's only wish was to return home to her grandparents and their love. This is her true story of fear, abuse and, finally, escape.

Somewhat unbelievable in parts. How did her boyfriend know about the police visiting Ned? What kind of caring boyfriend finds out that their girlfriend may have been sexually abused whilst a child and yet says nothing and offers no support at all whilst secretly knowing about it? She states she lived in Australia and yet says that Bendigo is a suburb of Melbourne, which I found rather comical! Bendigo is a regional town nearly 2hrs away from Melbourne! She goes on to say many Australians wish to go to the UK to find their family roots. I’ve lived in Australia all my life and none of my family, friends, work mates, school friends or any of their families or friends have ever wanted to go to the UK, actually out of all the people I know no one has gone near there and usually other countries are far more appealing for them to visit. Has this girl ever really been to Australia? Her boyfriend wants to start a life in freezing cold UK away from his family who obviously must not have been much chop for him to want to get away from them so eagerly. Too many parts of this story like those I’ve mentioned sound a bit fictional, so much so that it makes those parts rather comical.

This was a great book and although easy to follow, was also a little hard to get a grip on the different parts.

Great Book

Very disappointed in this.
Has anyone bothered to research Australia…..Bendigo is nowhere near Melbourne. It’s a town probably 2 hours drive away!
The story was not well told either. Is it really a true story??

Not good
