Bestselling UK author Toni Maguire shares the real story of Amy's abuse and rejection, and how she found the strength to save herself and her daughter

Amy's happy life changed forever when her mother suddenly passed. Abandoned by her family as they struggled to cope, she found herself facing hardships and exploitation alone, which eventually led to severe drug addiction at twelve years old. Now she shares what it was like to survive her new life in UK #1 bestselling author Toni Maguire's latest survivor story, Abandoned Child. This book, full of dark secrets and hard choices, follows Amy's journey from a victim to a fighter. The lesson? Change isn't easy, but it is worth it.

Without love and support growing up, Amy found herself in a world full of betrayal, imprisonment, and loveless relationships for several years. Yet when faced with the reality of her daughter's safety, she decided to take action to save them both from any more pain and violence. Reflecting on her memories and self-worth during those difficult times, Amy reveals how we can regret the mistakes we made. Yet the lessons we learn can change not only our lives but others as well.

This true story is one example probably out of thousands and thousands of other true stories about how good kids, teens, and even adults can fall prey to the world's of addiction. Escaping pain, rejections, and losses are searched for to alleviate the torment to one's mind, heart, and soul. There are usually gradual steps leading up to a person becoming addicted. I wish all people were willing to read books like this simply to gain a more sympathetic level of understanding towards people who are addicted. However, educating one's self is important because as this story teaches drugs make the person stop functioning with common sense or even basic intelligence.

The Resilience of the main character! Her ability to remain soft, feminine, and strong.
