Summary

In 1976, Francis Beaumont spirited 11-year-old Kim Chown and her brother away from their mother to Africa, where he had taken a job as a university lecturer. There, behind a veneer of respectability, he terrorised and brutalised his own child, Kim, sexually and emotionally abusing her several times a day.

Only aged 20 did Kim feel able to escape from him, descending into alcoholism, after her siblings and mother refused to help her seek justice. But after almost ending her own life, Kim fought back. With the support of her husband and adult children, she finally faced him in court and won justice for his shocking crimes. 

This is one woman's inspiring true story of overcoming harrowing abuse to build a happy life - against all odds.

My first audio book. Very good

Saw this lady's story in the daily mail so decided to sign up for audible free trial to listen. It was very well-read and the story, although terrible, was gripping. Awful to think this isn't fiction.

Such a brave lady

This Book gripped me from the beginning, such a harrowing story of survival, absolutely heartbreaking what Kim went through, and how brave she was bringing her monster of a father to finally face justice.

Deeply moving

From the deepest despair to the greatest strength, Kim Chown documents her early life. Her childhood was so tortuous. The person who should be your rock becomes the very person who inflicts the most heinous physical and phycological crimes against you. An ultimate gripping read and will shock you to your core.

Brave lady

Brave lady. Don’t feel bad about anything. You are the victim who still finds love in her heart for her torturer.
