Sue Martin was not three years old when she began life at her first children's home: a home that could at best be described as cold and regimented; at worst, torturous and terrifying. When her mother abandoned her to the protection of the home, Sue was soon to discover that behind the welcoming doors of this reputedly kind-hearted organisation lay a world steeped in lies, cover-ups, victimisation and abuse. At its heart was Boagey, whose perverse bullying was targeted at Sue. Her attacks quickly progressed from the gratuitous punishment of an innocent child to sordid gratification of her sexual whims. Sue's story is one of institutional abuse - of physical, mental and emotional torture of the most appalling kind - but it also a story full of joy, humour and many victories - small and large - against her abusers. Utterly compelling and shockingly revelatory, "No Way Home" will astound, move and inspire.

A brilliant story, written with honesty and humour! Sue tells us the story of her childhood within Barnardos homes and how she struggled to remain 'unbroken' by the truly uncaring nature of the majority of her guardians, and the horrific abuse that she endured.
The strength of her amazing character shone through, and I even managed to laugh in places!
Although I was pleased with the book, it really has left me wondering what happened next?
Since 'No Way Home' ended when Sue was 17, I'm sure she must have material for a sequel!? I am dying to know how the rest of Sue's life turned out.
