First published as only parts of her life, this book brings
together the full life story of the woman known as Annie
O'Sullivan. Horribly abused at the hand of her father, it is a
collection of essays, letters and journal entries that graphically
recount memories of her life as a confused child and young adult as
she careened through life without compass, to ultimately, and
against all odds, prosper. Culminating in the event that brought a
degree of closure to her torture, O'Sullivan brings the reader on
an intimate life journey through the eyes of this child's
misunderstanding, will to persevere and desire to seek goodness
despite her circumstances. Terrifying, infuriating and uplifting,
this book touches not only survivors; but parents, child-care
workers and teachers; reminding us of the true vulnerability of
children and our collective responsibility to protect them all.
