AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Sonia St Claire and her twin sister, Sarah, suffered horrific abuse of all kinds in five different orphanages over the first fourteen years of their lives. The twins were subject to sexual abuse, sexual slavery and physical violence, as well as emotional and mental abuse and neglect that would leave both of them traumatised and scarred well into their adult lives.'
'After mental breakdown and attempted suicide, incredibly Sonia then fought against the odds to reclaim the life meant for her, a life that had been stolen by her mother and caregivers for so many years.'
'A true story that will shock and inspire, The Girl in the Locker is an incredible tale of survival that will stay with you long after you finish the last page.' (Source: Publisher's website)
