Review
A heart-rending account of a mother's cruelty from one of the first black women to sit as a judge in the UK. * Elle * Horrific, but remarkable too. * Lesley Pearse * Remarkable * Good Housekeeping * An astonishing true story of hope over adversity * Mail on Sunday * Reading the book is like an exercise in bottling up your rage. Afterwards, you feel helpless and disturbed. Which is only right. * Standard * On UGLY:'Utterly extraordinary . . . harrowing, often deeply disturbing, but ultimately inspiring' * Daily Mail * It is a truly remarkable read from someone who overcame a torrid start in life. * Sun * As compulsive as her bestselling debut, UGLY. * Woman & Home *
