Keri 4: The Original Child Abuse True Story

Keri Karin, Part Two

By: Kat Ward

Narrated by: Bridget Thomas

Length: 15 hrs and 8 mins

Publisher's Summary

Child Abuse True Stories presents: Volume four of Kat Ward's sensational autobiography!

The year was 1975, and at age 16, young Keri was desperate to strike out on her own.

However, as listeners of the first three volumes of this series will know, her childhood was hardly the loving, supportive, preparatory period it should have been.

Instead of family dinners and piano recitals, there were shattered dishes and abusive parents. Instead of trips to the museum, there were trips to TV studios - to be molested by celebrities. In short, her childhood was nothing short of a nightmare.

Should it really be any surprise then, after such a traumatic baptism into life, that her first foray into the adult world was hardly an unmitigated success?

From living in squalor to racking up debts, her new-found independence forced her face-to-face with many of life's grim realities. And despite waiting all her life for her freedom, she soon realised that a world without the institutional bars she was so accustomed to was just too much of a jungle. And every jungle has its predators...

But what was a girl to do? Regress back to an abusive enslavement? Or continue moving forward in a world that seemed so backward? She needed a friend - and fast.

Naturally, her understandable distrust of others didn't make things easy. Not to mention her warped idea of love. In the end though, her determination proved the deciding factor. As far as she was concerned, she'd performed her final "favour", and cried the last of her tears.

But just when she thought she'd finally left her demons behind, she found herself at the mercy of unsavoury characters yet again - and this time, without anyone to turn to...

Disclaimer: This is a true story of child abuse. Discretion is advised.

Keri 4

The story of Keri Ward is very hard to hear. The abuse suffered by the hands of her mother should never have happened. I had to stop reading at times as my heart rate went through the roof. I hope and pray this isn’t a true story and if it is; I say I’m sorry on behalf of all the people who failed you. You are worth it and the writing of your book should be read by all. We need to understand that to protect a child or young person is a mission to which we all need to be a part of. Thank you for sharing and I can honestly say this book series has changed me. I give it 5 stars for all area...

I loathe Millie!

I am in LOVE with the narrator and of course Keri’s story. The last book and this one are very ... anticlimactic, nothing like the first 2. The things she struggles with are things I’ve struggled with throughout life. I loathe her mother, Millie. I’m so heartbroken over nana and the way she allows this behavior from Millie, and takes her side. After all these years I had hoped nana would finally take Keri’s side, as she really needs someone in her corner. As always the narrator is so amazing, I wished she had more books that she read. I’m not really interested in anymore of “Keri” books but I will purchase the next because I cannot say goodbye to Bridget Thomas!

WONT DOWNLOAD

so disappointed, I bought book twice, was given credit for first purchase, seen book was for purchase again, thought they fixed problem, still wont download, says file is corrupt.

Waiting for Keri 5

How long do I have to wait until I can listen to Keri 5? This story has gripped me from book 1.

Please we need Part 5

Great read but I’m needing a Part 5. Please please. Are there anymore books out?

Ending

I wish the book had ended with the next phase. I would like to have heard that Keri moved away from being a victim and if so how did she become responsible for her world. I realize this was her story however I do wonder what it would have been like with chapters from others perspectives. The social workers and other government agencies must be totally incompetent. Help her set up a checking account but no budget or training in money management? No economic training at all just go forth and prosper?

Fantastic writing to a very sad story

This poor poor girl suffers a lot of pain and dismay from everyone who should have loved her, Especially of all her Mother. But the ones who have been there for her, God bless them. I hope she finally found herself and with a comforting new name finds peace and love.

her details make me feel like I was there

i love this book series, definitely want to buy the rest! Highly recommend this true story!

Brilliant but rest of the series not on audible!

I've listened to the first 4 books but there are 7 in the series. The last 3 aren't available on Audible !? . Very annoying when you are half way through a story !
