⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Set in Scotland is a harrowing memoir of how a child never experiences love. Before the age of sixteen, her mother tries to kill her, her foster parents mentally abuse and beat her, her foster brother sexually abuses her. Only after being told her son could go into care does she tell social services what happened. Monica Allan‘s dedication to speaking up will hopefully bring changes and more consciousness to care in the social system.
