Abandoned Child
About this book
Gone in the blink of an eye. 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.
Leaving the past in the past. 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.
Abandoned Child is a childhood trauma book full of Amy's honest moments:
- Her mother's passing and the life that followed
