An empowering memoir of resilience and redemption, and the rage
that helped a girl escape the darkness of a harrowing childhood.
Born to a violently dysfunctional home in working-class Denmark,
Lisbeth Zornig Andersen and her three older brothers were bounced
between foster care and state-run institutions, then back again to
their chemically dependent mother and sadistic stepfather. For
Lisbeth, it was a childhood without perimeters. It was blighted by
poverty, sexual abuse, neglect, betrayal, and further victimization
by the broken Danish social services system that forced Lisbeth to
live where and how it saw fit. Coming of age with a myriad of fears
and emotional disorders, Lisbeth had three things that would become
driving forces in her life: she was extraordinarily bright,
extremely willful, and exceptionally angry. From hell to
liberation, this is Lisbeth’s emotional and galvanizing memoir
told in two voices: that of a young girl who was unwanted,
challenged, and defiant, and that of a woman who channeled her rage
into a positive force as a passionate advocate for children’s
rights. Whatever darkness defines the past, it can be used to
change the future. Lisbeth’s heart-wrenching and ultimately
uplifting journey is proof.
