Thrust into care at six months of age because of an alcoholic father and mentally ill mother, Teresa Cooper's life began in a less than perfect way. Teresa spent an unsettled childhood in a variety of children's homes before being sent at thirteen to Kendall House in Gravesend, Kent, which would become her prison and worst nightmare. Teresa found herself a victim of a terrible regime; being injected with dangerously high doses of drugs and sexually abused. This cruel and vicious treatment, accompanied by punishments such as 163 days spent in solitary confinement, meant that it was not long before Teresa began to harm herself and even attempt to take her life. After three years of hell, Teresa thought her nightmare was over but another was about to begin.
The extraordinary story of how a young girl fought against the most evil of abuses in a care system that was meant to protect her to become the survivor she is today. The most compelling and intense story of survival.

Teresa Cooper's life began in a less than perfect way. But little did she know that things would only go from bad to worse. Teresa spent her unsettled childhood in a variety of children's homes before eventually being sent to Kendal House in Gravesend, Kent, England which was to become the prison in which her worst nightmares would come true. Before her first day within these prison walls had ended, Teresa found herself a victim of the terrible 'pin-down' regime, during which she was injected with dangerously high doses of drugs and then raped and seriously abused. This cruel and vicious treatment, accompanied by punishments such as 163 days spent in solitary confinement, meant that it was not long before Teresa began to harm herself and even attempted to take her life."
How many more lives need to be destroyed by the ugliness of child abuse?
