Deliver Me from Evil - Alloma Gilbert

'When I was a little girl I believed what I was told over and over again: that I was evil, that I deserved to be tortured because I was the Devil's child ...' In April 2007 foster-mother Eunice Spry was sentenced to fourteen years in prison for her sadistic abuse of the children in her care. The details of her cruelty were so sickening they shocked the country. Alloma Gilbert was one of Spry's young victims, sent to live with her at the age of six and left at her mercy for eleven brutal years. Eunice used her own twisted religious beliefs as an excuse for punishing her foster children. When she took them to live on an isolated farmhouse, the abuse escalated to terrifying levels - a stick was thrust down Alloma's throat so often it was stained red with blood, she was starved for over a year and survived only by secretly eating pigswill, and the vicious beatings were relentless. At the age of seventeen she finally escaped but, alone in the outside world, she fell prey to abusive men. It was the birth of her baby daughter that saved her, that finally taught her what love really is. Written with powerful honesty, Deliver Me From Evil is a moving and inspiring story of survival.

La tete en friche - Sabine Roger

"La tête en friche" - "en friche" bedeutet: brachliegend, unbebaut - ist die Vorlage für den Film "Das Labyrinth der Wörter" (so auch der deutsche Titel des Romans). Zwei Menschen, die unterschiedlicher kaum sein könnten, freunden sich an: der Ich-Erzähler Germain Chazes, Mitte 40, ein Koloss von einem Mann, ohne Schulabschluss, der kaum lesen und schreiben kann, und die kleine, zarte, feinsinnige und kultivierte Margueritte Escoffier, eine 86jährige alte Dame. Und der gelingt es, Germain mit ihrer Leidenschaft für die Literatur anzustecken. Das Lesen bleibt für ihn nicht ohne Folgen: Germain beginnt, über sich und sein Leben nachzudenken, und wird am Ende des Romans ein anderer geworden sein.

Ugly - Constance Briscoe

Constance’s mother systematically abused her daughter, both physically and emotionally, throughout her childhood. Regularly beaten and starved, the girl was so desperate she took herself off to Social Services and tried to get taken into care. When that failed, she swallowed bleach 'because it kills all known germs and my mother always told me I was a germ'. When Constance was thirteen, her mother simply moved out, leaving her daughter to fend for herself: there was no gas, no electricity and no food.
But somehow Constance found the courage to survive her terrible start in life. This is her heartrending – and ultimately triumphant – story.
