Parental love was in short supply when Aura Angel was growing up,
in a household where there was so little money that her parents
would burn the floorboards of their council house to keep warm in
winter. Her father would beat her at the slightest excuse, and when
he left home her mother took over, using brooms and kitchen
implements to make sure the blows hurt. Her mother's conflicts with
authority led Aura (not her real name) to eight schools and more
than 20 homes before finally, at 12 years old, she marched into the
local Social Services offices and asked them to take care of her.
Her troubles were far from over; an abortion at 16 followed and two
children by fathers who badly let her down. Yet now, in her
forties, she is at peace with herself. She has written A Normal
Life as "a counselling tool for myself". It is an extraordinary and
moving story, candidly and sensitively written.
