Story
My Prison without Bars is a courageous and harrowing journey through the catacombs of hell, from the mind and voice of a little girl, living with her own monster underneath her bed. Written in first person, this novel is not a memoir, but more a psychological thriller based on true events; chronicling one woman's attempt to claw her way out of the darkness of Child Sexual Abuse, while struggling to find normal, in a not-so-normal world. It is poignant, dark and graphic; not for the faint of heart.

Born in 1975, Louise was living a happy, normal life as the much-adored only child of two loving and hard-working parents. But then, the tragic deaths of her father and grandfather within two years of each other turn her life upside-down. Having moved in with her mother's parents after the death of her father, Louise finds that her grandmother's increasing reliance on the local church for comfort after her husband's death draws a soon-to-be unwelcome guest to the family home: the verger, Mr. Jarvis.

Story
From the outside, there was no reason to suspect the family life of young schoolchild Keri was anything but unremarkable. Two loving parents, a backdrop of 1960s Britain; life had provided for her, at least with the riches of modesty. Keri herself however, would often confound teachers with her erratic behaviour, which was at best sullen and withdrawn; at worst violently disruptive. When challenged, she would only exacerbate her growing reputation as a fantasist; weaving terrible tales about the "abuse" she was suffering at the hands of her very creators.

Still traumatized by her early experiences, but not entirely without that sense of vague hope that is the inalienable property of youth. Now at Duncroft Approved School for “emotionally disturbed girls”, her life had come to resemble that of a prisoner; a good day was a bad one and a bad day was horrific.

AS THE ADULT DAUGHTER OF AN ABUSED MOTHER
- By Kathy Weber on 04-23-21
By: Hannah Morgan
Publisher's Summary
I nestled in a tomb for a womb. I was trapped, held captive, listless, apathetic, even before I was born. That's how it felt to be conceived out of deceit, lust, and sexual abuse. I walked around for quite awhile as a child and as an adult, feeling repulsive, loathsome, like a disease. I was spawned in darkness, my mother’s secret, vile sin. I was my mother's entrapment. She was obliviously unaware that she could get pregnant, that she could get caught. My mother was numb, robotic, trying to figure out how to get out of an impossible situation.
Slivers of ice pierced my little soul. It was impossible to feel safe knowing she wanted to get rid of me, a parasite, feeding off her body. How could she convince her husband that he was the father of her baby? Her sexual addiction and perversion created this horrible predicament. She was pregnant by her 15-year-old lover, who was fatherless, with a mother that was incapable of taking care of her children, living in poverty and despair. She had to convince her husband that this child from the border of Mexico needed a chance to have a good life without letting him know that he would be taking this teenage boy to Indiana who was the father to his wife’s baby.
My mother was bipolar, mentally ill, a sociopath that not only got pregnant by my 15-year-old father but went on to abuse me in every way imaginable. This is my story. People have a hard time believing that women, especially mothers who are supposed to protect their children, can be molesters and pedophiles, but my mother was one. I am not only telling my story for my own recovery, exposing the sins of the mothers in our family, but to help others to see that if this happened to them, they are not alone, and they can recover and have healthy, reasonably happy lives and help others in their journeys to wholeness.

Don’t Bother
This book is very poorly written. It is repetitive and and without color. The author stumbles through the story, explaining the simplest metaphors ad nauseam. I can’t believe I paid for this one.

Hard story to tell
This must have been a very hard autobiography for her to write. It does, however, sound like the author has recovered as well as could be expected. I almost didn't buy this book because of people saying things like "don't bother". That insensitive person has, obviously, never been abused, nor has he/she ever known anyone who was abused and can thank God for that. I do recommend this book. I do think it was well written and performed.

Nothing like the description.
At first I was not sure I was listening to the book I bought, the way she words and says things she seems so ignorant as to what being violently abused as a child actually means. Yes she was abused but it seems it was more the mental health of her parents that needed attention. The baby voices disgust me as well. Horrible, badly written, waste of time and money . 0 stars
