Story
Being a teenager isn't easy. Even kids who grow up in happy, loving households encounter all manner of problems during adolescence. But children who were abused, raped, bullied, mistreated or neglected during their earliest years, face the transition at an even greater disadvantage. For they not only come completely ill-prepared, but also badly scarred, and often still licking the wounds from their childhoods.

In this much-publicised third volume, Kat recounts her early-mid teen years; no longer a small child, but a girl on the cusp of adolescence. Still traumatized by her early experiences, but not entirely without that sense of vague hope that is the inalienable property of youth. Now at Duncroft Approved School for “emotionally disturbed girls”, her life had come to resemble that of a prisoner; a good day was a bad one and a bad day was horrific.

Story
My mother was bipolar, mentally ill, a sociopath that not only got pregnant by my 15-year-old father but went on to abuse me in every way imaginable. This is my story. People have a hard time believing that women, especially mothers who are supposed to protect their children, can be molesters and pedophiles, but my mother was one. I am not only telling my story for my own recovery, exposing the sins of the mothers in our family, but to help others to see that if this happened to them, they are not alone, and they can recover and have healthy, reasonably happy lives.

Story
My Prison without Bars is a courageous and harrowing journey through the catacombs of hell, from the mind and voice of a little girl, living with her own monster underneath her bed. Written in first person, this novel is not a memoir, but more a psychological thriller based on true events; chronicling one woman's attempt to claw her way out of the darkness of Child Sexual Abuse, while struggling to find normal, in a not-so-normal world. It is poignant, dark and graphic; not for the faint of heart.

Our prisons and mental hospitals are filled with tragic stories like Tuesday Storm's. Her early childhood was riddled with torturous "games" and violent physical attacks. She was isolated from the rest of her family, locked in an attic with nothing but a bare bed and a bucket for a toilet, and fed just enough to be kept alive. The experts say it's next to impossible to find the soul's light in a dark past like Tuesday's.

Stephen Smith is the boy who did not exist. Born out of wedlock in the early 1960s, Steve's parents - both devout Catholics - had felt so 'shamed' by their son's illegitimate birth that they hid him away from the world by locking him in the cellar...for 13 years. Apart from a few admissions to hospital as a result of his 'imprisonment', Steve remained in the coal cellar of the family home where he was deprived of daylight, his childhood, school and human contact until he'd reached his teenage years.

Publisher's Summary
Child abuse true stories presents: Volume 1 of Kat Ward's sensational autobiography!
From the outside, there was no reason to suspect the family life of young schoolchild Keri was anything but unremarkable.
Two loving parents, a backdrop of 1960s Britain; life had provided for her, at least with the riches of modesty. Keri herself however, would often confound teachers with her erratic behaviour, which was at best sullen and withdrawn; at worst violently disruptive. When challenged, she would only exacerbate her growing reputation as a fantasist; weaving terrible tales about the "abuse" she was suffering at the hands of her very creators. But it was the much-celebrated age of innocence; the childhood of our modern culture. Big brother had not yet been born and Nanny was only looking out for her dearest, as opposed to the entire State. Who would take the word of child on such matters? After all, she was just a bad egg - wasn't she? Well, no. She wasn't.
She was indeed, for over a decade, the victim of an abuse so staggering that merely to read about it is enough to freeze even the thickest of blood. "Keri" is the story of what happens when truth is imprisoned in a little glass jar and buried deep within the Earth, condemned to a sentence of eternal silence. For truth may be repressed, but never suppressed. It will always find light eventually.
And in this gut-wrenching account of her early life, author Kat Ward takes the reader through every shade of darkness, whilst never allowing the candle of hope to fully extinguish, so as the truth may indeed find its rightful freedom.
Disclaimer: This is a true story of child abuse. Reader discretion is advised.

It was a great read, however it seemed to drag on at times but now I know why! I didn't realize that this was part of a series until the end. What's a bummer is that the rest of the books are not available here. It'd be nice to offer this info up front as to not waste people's time, I would have bought something else. I would buy the audible series if given the opportunity.

Heartbreaking story and it ends with a cliffhanger. So disappointed to realize it's a 7 part series. I cannot do seven more books with this much emotion. Unfortunately, reviews of the other books say there's a lot of duplication and some mismatched information. I opted out.

Riveting!! Couldn't stop listening.....
This is one of the most riveting, shocking audiobook accounts of abuse I have ever read/listened to. Keri's astounding level of recall, her ability to tell her story, which flows flawlessly, and naturally, in vivid detail, is stunning. I was shocked, spellbound,livid and furious as I listened to her recount the inhumane, cruel treatment she endured from her mother and step father. At times I was brought to tears. Keri's endurance, resilience, her ability to love, and her honesty made me love her. Her Nana, who showed Keri what love is, renewed my faith in people and helped me heal from the shock and heartbreak of this account, by showing how love conquers hate and how good can overcome evil. I will never forget Keri or her story. Get this one. It will change you.

So Sad So True
Through out the book I often wondered what was fact and what was fiction. The book was written, performed and story line were excellent, I would stop while reading just to look at the author's page and comments from other readers. Its one of those too horrible to be true stories. With that said, that seems to be the way Keri felt whilst being abused by maniacs.

Absolutely terrible.
1. Lacks credibility. Tons of minutiae of detailed childhood memories. Created by the editor. That detailed memory just isn’t possible at that 2 or 3 year old age. We may have wasted 2 hours on this nonsense.
2. Narrator voice should be more childlike.
I recently listened to “ Violated.” An excellent book. The narrator was excellent. Keri is pathetic in comparison.

Let down by poor narration
A captivating story, shocking and enlightening in equal measures. Just a shame that the authenticity of the book is compromised by the numerous occasions where the narrator did not pronounce words correctly, or placed emphasis on the wrong syllable, displaying a lack of familiarity with either the context or the word itself.

Uncomfortable but gripping
I very nearly didnt continue with this story after just a few short chapters as it was very difficult to hear the sexual abuse content, but by then the story had me captured and I felt there was no choice but to continue listening as often as and at every chance I could. What a brave girl, it hurts to know she spoke out and still wasnt helped by the authorities, I also experienced very similar.

Very thought provoking and emotional.........
I rarely bother with writing reviews but this true story had me rapt one minute, and wanting to shy away the next.
How people can be so utterly cruel, both mentally and physically, to each other is beyond my ken. It is almost unbelievable to someone brought up “normally” in a happy home that there are those out there who can do these things. The incestuous actions of a father have been heard of before, but condoned by the mother? While the father is not her biological parent, can it really excuse his behaviour? Then to beat her senseless out of his own guilt?
There are moments the reader will find they cannot imagine the absolute horrors this child was put through. I think it conjured up more sadness and raging anger in me than any other read has ever done. Not to be read by anyone with a weak stomach.

A very in-depth and mostly sad story
This story is a true account of a young girls life of torment and abuse. Kerry gives detailed accounts of her life from a very early age up until the age of about 14 and how the people in authority who could have and whose job it was to protect her, once again as with many other accounts of many types of child abuse tells how she also was let down by the System in which we still live today. This book finishes as I mentioned at about the age of 14 so I am looking forward to hearing the next part of her life in the hope that somehow Justice is done to those that caused her harm and that she herself somehow manages to lead a happy and successful life and her bravery rewarded,although quite how this could occur I have absolutely no idea.

I find it hard to believe that this is a true/factual story.... full of fluff' and filler, repetitive and inconsistent. Her memory is outstanding for such an abused child, along with and her behaviour, and academic achievements. 26 hours and she's only 15 years old and more to come !
Written like a fiction novel - the abusers / villains = evil , characters on 'keri's side' are saccharine sweet and salt of the earth.... nauseating
Kat/Keri - Victim Syndrome ? Id say so....yes, caused by childhood trauma = embellishing stories, using shock /horror to gain sympathy and attention.
Got to give it to Keri's/Kat, she has certainly 'milked this cow' dry and laughing all the way to the bank.

Really great read but…..
I was continually frustrated at not knowing her age throughout the early years - it was difficult to imagine her predicament without knowing her age. You can tell she’s getting older but up until she turns 14 it’s very unclear. I can empathise a lot but also found her naïveté frustrating and a little unbelievable in parts.

Holy heck
Holy heck the poor child. How could the people that knew about the abuse not do anything? This so called “mother” and step “father” need hanging. I wish I could have swept this beautiful child up and taken her away from all of that. 😢🥺
