Don't Ever Cry

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, tortuous and terrifying. When her mother abandoned her to the protection of its matrons, Sue was soon to discover that behind the doors of this reputedly kind-hearted institution lay a world steeped in lies, cover-ups, victimisation and abuse. At its heart was Boagey, a woman whose bullying was targeted at Sue. Sue's true story is one of physical, mental and emotional torment. But it is also a story full of joy, humour and many victories - small and large - against her abusers. Utterly compelling and shockingly revelatory, "Don't Ever Cry" will astound, move and inspire.
