Finished this book last night. It was hard to read but I felt glad that I knew that this woman was in prison. After I read it I looked her up and discovered Thomas (child C) had also wrote a book about this case, called Child C) I do not plan to buy it cause I think Alloma did tell it like it was.

Synopsis: The memoir of Alloma who was raised in a living hell due to her abusive foster mother Eunice. Alloma was forced to change her name, suffered both mental and physical abuse - such as eating her own feces and having a wooden stick thrust down her throat - and eventually left Eunice's care with only three pounds given to her.
My Opinion: A really emotional story with a satisfying ending when Eunice is sentenced in court.
