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
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
When Zoe was taken into care at the age of 13, she thought she was finally going to escape from the cruel abuse she had suffered throughout her childhood. Then social services placed her in a residential unit known to be 'a target for prostitution', and suddenly Zoe's life was worse than it had ever been before.
Abused and ostracized by her mother, humiliated by her father’s sexual innuendos, physically assaulted and bullied by her eldest brother, even as a young child Zoe thought she deserved the desperately unhappy life she was living.
‘I’ve sharpened a knife for you,’ her mother told her the first time she noticed angry red wounds on her daughter’s arms. And when Zoe didn’t kill herself, her mother gave her whisky, which she drank in the hope that it would dull the miserable, aching loneliness of her life.
One day at school Zoe showed her teacher the livid bruises that were the result of her mother’s latest physical assault and within days she was taken into care.
Zoe had been at Denver House for just three weeks when an older girl asked if she’d like to go to a party, then took her to a house where there were just three men. Zoe was a virgin until that night, when two of the men raped her. Having returned to the residential unit in the early hours of the morning, when she told a member of staff what had happened to her, her social worker made a joke about it, then took her to get the morning-after pill.
For Zoe, the indifference of the staff at the residential unit seemed like further confirmation of what her mother had always told her – she was worthless. Before long, she realised that the only way to survive in the unit was to go to the ‘parties’ the older girls were paid to take her to, drink the drinks, smoke the cannabis and try to blank out what was done to her when she was abused, controlled and trafficked around the country.
No action was taken by the unit's staff or social workers when Zoe asked for their help, and without anyone to support or protect her, the horrific abuse continued for the next few years, even after she left the unit. But in her heart Zoe was always a fighter. This is the harrowing, yet uplifting story, of how she finally broke free of the abuse and neglect that destroyed her childhood and obtained justice for her years of suffering.

A fantastic listen!
This book is another example of how the social justice system is a complete let down. Zoe deserves to be commended on overcoming the hand that she was dealt with and becoming a strong and independent woman. Accepting her weaknesses and building on them to redefine herself. I’ve never been prouder of a stranger.

Tragic but repetitive
A tragic story that no one should go through… quite repetitive in the “story telling” but a message that illustrates the systemic issues in social support for victims of psychological and sexual abuse.

Couldn't stop listening. How could social services treat Zoe so cruely? I can't believe how everyone knew she was being trafficked, but did nothing to help her. It makes you wander, what could Abbie and Natily's motives have been when they sold Zoe. I hope things have changed today.

Society failed this little girl
What a devastating early life young Zoe had. Every time you think things couldn't get any worse, the social workers and police ignore the abuse in plain sight. During this story I just wanted to reach into the book and rescue this poor child from her awful parents and abusers. I would love to hear more from Zoe about how her life is going now. I truly hope she is thriving, she deserves a break.

Thank you
Thank you for sharing
An intimate life story behind the faces you rarely give a thought to.
How many other stories are out there????
How many others don’t make it.
What a struggle life is for those that don’t ask for such misery
I honestly don’t know how one recovers and makes a meaningful life for themselves.
Congratulations on such a thought provoking book.
