Bravery	Customer Rating:
Having read this book from cover to cover I would like to say that Stuart has showed true courage and Bravery throught both his childhood and adulthood. I actually live very near to where this event took place and thank my lucky stars that I had the childhood that I did. I am glad to hear that Stuart is now able to get on with his life with his family (who obviously adore him very much).

Thank you Stuart, for sharing your story with us.

Customer Rating:

This book is amazing, just like the author. I think its the most horrific story of child abuse I've ever read and I cannot praise Stuart enough for having survived his ordeal and having come out the other side. You're an inspiration to us all and I am so glad you found love with Tracy. I found the way he was treated while in prison disgusting and I'm glad he spoke up for himself and took those responsible to court! I dont agree with one person's comment that he shouldn't have said to the guards that he'd been abused. He had every right to expect to be treated fairly in prison, ESPECIALLY considering what he'd been through. I hope those prison guards have seen this book and are thoroughly ashamed of themselves. Read this book. Its important to know and remember always, that abuse happens, it may be happening right now as I type this and we need to keep this message alive so that we can stop it from happening to innocent children. Thank you once again Stuart, I wish you and your family all the happiness in the world!

A true brave boy.. who turned into a brave man

Customer Rating:

Wow.... that sums up this book in one word, i read this book in 1day flat i just couldnt put it down. It was such an gripping story of how a young boy battled his way through everything to become a young man to battle through prison to become a father and part of his own family.. The book was amazing and real heart touching story. Some parts are unbearable to even imagine and i hold the most respect for Stuart Howarth the auther of the book and i loved this book!!

Shocking but gripping read

Customer Rating:

If I hadn't read the review on amazon by the author himself and his partner plus the foreword in the book I don't think I could have carried on with reading the book. The story was horrific, more so than any horror story I have read because it actually happened and in my life time too in my area of the world. I didn't have a fab childhood myself and I know how that has affected me so how can Stuart recover? He must be an amazingly strong person and I admire him for that. I couldn't put this book down, I read on and on. I can't wait for the follow on book because I really want to know the rest of the story.

Absolutely unputdownable !

Customer Rating:

I didn`t have a great childhood myself and some of the things stuart talks about took me back there - a miserable place that i`m glad to be away from. However, the more i read of stuart`s book, the more i realised that, yes, my own childhood could have been one hell of a lot worse - it could have been as bad as his. I would like to shake this man`s hand and tell him he has much to be proud of-he lost a few battles along the way - but he won the war. Amazing book - amazing man !
