I was the shadow child no one ever saw...
From the day she was born until she escaped three decades later, Katy Morgan-Davies knew nothing but a life in captivity. Raised in a cult led by her cruel, deluded father, Katy was kept hidden from the world, rarely permitted to set foot outside the house. From a young age she was subjected to violence and mental abuse, and never experienced love or friendship.
When Katy finally found her freedom, she was shocked at just how little she knew of the world. Something as simple as having the freedom of choice was overwhelming but, step by step, she learned the skills she needed to exist in a society that, to her, was completely unfamiliar.
In this gripping and remarkable memoir, Katy shows how she rose above what she suffered and found a way to escape through her love of reading and writing. Expanding her understanding through the words of others enabled her to see her captivity for what it truly was, and writing gave her a voice when her own was silenced.
