Rendition In Pursuance Of Books Pin Down
Thrust into state care at 6 months of age because of an alcoholic father and mentally ill mother, Teresa Cooper spent an unsettled childhood in a variety of children's homes. At age 13, she was sent to Kendall House in Gravesend, Kent, a home which soon became her prison and worst nightmare. Teresa found herself a victim of a terrible regime: she was injected with dangerously high doses of drugs and sexually abused. As a result of this cruel and vicious treatment—accompanied by punishments such as 163 days spent in solitary confinement—it was not long before Teresa began to harm herself and even attempt to take her life. After three years of hell, Teresa thought her nightmare was over but another was about to begin. Teresa survived, however, and today she works to fight against a corrupt social care system. She has taken her case of abuse and drugging to parliament, and is fighting to prevent many more children from suffering at the hands of unethical doctors and abusive foster parents.Point Out Of Books Pin Down

This book was absolutly mind blowing. I read it in a matter of 2 days. To think that anyone could be treated this way, with such abuse is upsetting. I would highly recomend this book to every reader.love it
pin down was a amazing it took me ages to read coz im dislexic but it made me want to carry on so badly i read it when i was young after my mum read it it was very sad and made me cry but was an exstemly good book
It was a very strong and difficoult book, but even if the story was hard, it had a clear langauge (I read the Swedish traslation). The book is about Teresa, a child's experiences of first abuse in her home and then, when she got to a special home for girls, as was made to protect her, it just abused her even more. The story made a deep impact on me. In the home called Kendall House she came to, after many different homes and orphanages, she went extremly bullied by the other girls and was forced
It was amazing to read :) Very horrible and really good to read. But i feel so bad in my stomache through read this oneI read this long time ago i dont know when in 2012 but it was late summer season
girl institutionalized when parents couldn't take care of her. Fed lots of drugs and raped by one of the workers. Finally got out when 18 years old.
Working on my next book :-)
