Summary
Cassie was only 13 when her mother died of a degenerative illness, leaving her vulnerable to sexual predators in the Halifax area who had been grooming her since the age of 11. She fell through the net of the care system and reached out for friendship, only to be consumed by an escalating spiral of abuse.
This harrowing and truly shocking story captures in vivid detail how gangs of men were able to ply a child with drink and drugs, then rape her and pass her around their associates with no one seemingly able to step in and prevent it. Cassie was lost in a world of appalling degradation for years before a local policeman and caring social worker became instrumental in helping her to escape and rebuild her life.
In 2016, the largest case of child sexual exploitation ever brought to trial at that time in the UK resulted in the conviction of 17 men. Since Cassie's abusers were jailed, child safeguarding policies have improved so that vulnerable children like Cassie should never again fall through the net and become prey.

Amazing
I wouldn't have come across this book if I hadn't been searching under narrator because Lucy Price-Lewis is great. the story is gripping . I kept asking 'why would you go there again??' and its so difficult to listen to some of the story and remember she was just a little girl.

Nightmare
I listened to this story in one go. I could not stop, I was hoping, and wishing. I felt her pain, her rage, her disappointmenI, her every emotion. Without giving to much away. I cried internally and externally this story is an eye-opener. Perfectly written.

Pray
So hard to listen to, and to think that this still happens to children even today. But so well written and so brave.
