Child C: Surviving A Foster Mother's Reign Of Terror (2008) - Plot & Excerpts
No books of this genre are ever good, but this one blew me away. It was easier to imagine this as a terrible fiction as reading it and picuting it happening was too upsetting. The man has overcome so much hate and pain and uncertainty - I hope he finds happiness after all he has endured. Not exactly a spirit lifter - but it sure made me appreciate everything I have and all the unconditional love I was given as a child. This was a powerful read.One of the best of this genre I have ever read! His style of writing was so comfortable and easy to read, it flowed very well. Without going into much detail, cause I hate to do a spoiler here, I must say this foster "mother" (and I use that word to describe her very reluctantly) was pure evil. I felt it was very hard for Christopher to write this book but I also sensed that by doing so it helped him come to terms with some of what happened. He seems very private of not only himself but of his sisters. There were certain things he refused to speak of, it was more he hinted of them, they were obviously just too painful for him to acknowledge at the time he was writing this. He spoke little of the abuse suffered by his sisters, he states that is their story- for them to tell if and when they decide to.I googled Eunice Spry's name after I finished this book and found that her sentence has been shortened from the 14 she orginally received. What is wrong with our society that we can allow abuse such as this to have such a light sentence? Sickens me.
