Ratings and reviews

utterly heartbreaking for the 12-year-old girl, who survived the horrors at this mental hospital. very well written and couldn't put the book down!! well done for getting this true story out, Netflix should be making a series out of it.

An amazing story of the loss of innocence by the adults who were meant to care and protect. strength and carriage to over come the hardship that should never have been lived!

I have no words. You truly did experience so much evil. Thank you for writing this book. I wish you and the others all the best and am sending you Love, Light and Strength... My only question is - Did you ever find Christine?

About the author

Barbara O'Hare was admitted to Aston Hall psychiatric hospital when she was 12-years-old, where she was subjected to horrifying courses of 'treatment' from its head physician. Frequently injected with drugs, locked away and abused, Barbara has attempted to come to terms with her time at Aston Hall 46 years on. After creating the Facebook group 'Survivors of Aston Hall', victims have been brought together in their search for answers of how the abuse they suffered came to pass, and was kept secret for so long. Their efforts have led to a major police investigation and a meeting at the Houses of Parliament to have their story heard. Now, more than 100 people have come forward alleging abuse at Aston Hall.

This is Barbara's first book, exposing the abuse she suffered at Aston Hall.
