About this product

Product Information

As featured on Sky News and BBC Radio London. A dark true story about the exceptional Nicky Nicholls and her struggle to survive a bleak and abusive young life. 'This book teaches us to believe in the power of creativity when life has kicked you firmly in the face' Jo Good, BBC Radio London The story begins in 1965, when Nicky encounters the Moors Murderer Myra Hindley in Risley remand centre. The brief meeting between these two young women resonates with Nicky. It is a brush with the kind of darkness into which a human life can descend, and an experience that powers her own resolve not to let her abuse define and shape her, but to strive for a positive life of her own. Left as a newborn in a box outside Stoke City Football ground, her grandparents took her into their home. But instead of finding a sanctuary, Nicky was subjected to horrific sexual abuse throughout her childhood. In 1951, when Nicky was six years old, her glamorous-looking estranged mother arrived on the doorstep to 'rescue' her. But Nicky's hopes of a safe and loving family were very soon smashed, and her world became darker still... Now an internationally renowned London artist, hers is a compelling story, carried along by her rare spirit of survival against the odds. Nicky's story is one of hope, for herself and for other abused children. 'Extremely well told, emotional and raw, raw, raw' GoodReads reviewer

    What a fighter

    Such a terrible story & to think it took over 50 years for this incredible woman to believe in herself & take the help so often offered. You made it in the end though

  • Top critical review

    Sad story and even more sad is that it still happens today.

    So very sad what happened when a little girl but should have been able to overcome better later on in life especially with all the help given to her. Anyway she came good in the end but so many wasted years.
