Never a mother to me

In her first book, Never a Hero to Me, Tracy Black told the horrific story of how her father, a respected Army man, was in fact a heartless paedophile who convinced Tracy that her mother's health was completely dependent on her willingness to be abused.

In her new book, Tracy continues her shocking story by telling how her mother closed her eyes to the cruelty, treating her little girl with cold indifference.

Heartbreakingly Tracy traded her innocence for the love of her mother - love which was never given, no matter how much she suffered.

As Tracy approached adulthood, she risked being trapped in damaging sexual relationships.

But after years of struggle she found the courage to break out of her past and turn her life around.
