Tressa Middleton made UK history when she became Britain's youngest mum in 2006 aged just 12 years and 8 months. Her case provoked shock and outrage - but the truth behind the headlines was far sadder than anyone could ever have imagined. Born into a life of poverty and neglect, Tressa was forced to grow up fast when was she taken into care at just four years old. She was returned to her mother's chaotic world but by the age of seven, she was being abused by her own brother and at 11 years old she fell pregnant with his child. For years she kept his dark secret in an attempt to hold her family together until the truth threatened to destroy her completely. In the years since the birth, Tressa has gone through more pain and turmoil than most adults experience in a lifetime - yet today she survives a brave, strong and compassionate young woman. Now, for the first time, Tressa Middleton tells her own harrowing yet poignant story - a story of hope, forgiveness and above all, love.

Gripande berättelse om missförhållanden i samhället som vi inte kan blunda för. Barn som far oändligt illa men även om en exceptionellt stark och klok flicka. Eftersom det är huvudpersonens egen berättelse rakt av finns luckor som jag gärna velat veta mer om och språket är hennes vilket ibland gör berättelsen gles på beskrivande text.
