''I couldn''t put it down'' Observer

''Stunning... a haunting work of art.'' Newsweek

You aren''t stupid. You know there''s no such thing as a perfect mother. Plenty of other books will tell you there is, but this one won''t lie to you. I was weak and I cheated and I was punished, but my god I loved my child through all of it. Love means you never break, and it means you''re stronger than the things they do to you. I know this is true because I have been through fire, and I am the proof that love survives. I am not a perfect mother but I will tell you the perfect truth, because this is you and me talking. This is my story.
