Book Description
You only get one chance to live your life as a child, but Lily was never given that chance; her childhood was taken from her before it ever begun. From the age of four, when she was first sexually abused, her life changed forever; when she walked through the institution’s doors in Ireland, her life continued along the same path that has destroyed her soul. Her emotional pain is as strong today as it was the day it began and will never leave her alone.“When I go to sleep it’s in my head and when I wake up I can see it in the mirror and I am only waiting to die.” A child abuse story that will stay with you forever and one that you will talk about for many years to come, The Girl Nobody Wants is a harrowing true story that will appeal to fans of biographies and fans of Jodi Picoult. It has been compared to Dave Pelzer’s A Child Called It, Damaged by Cathy Glass and The Kid by Kevin Lewis.

Annie, the Girl Nobody Wanted: A Journey from Abandonment and Abuse to a New Identity in Christ
Author: Dr Annie Hurley
Publisher: Hurley Books
ISBN: 9780578443621
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
What do you do when you realize your mother doesn't want you...and you're only five years old? Find out in this graphic narrative as Dr. Annie Hurley shares her personal story of childhood abandonment, a life that entailed years of poverty, fear, hunger, loneliness- and unimaginable physical and sexual abuse. Annie's journey led her through over thirty different home living situations, including several years of residing with her mother, whose love and attention Annie craved above all else. Yet instead of living secure in her mother's love and protection, Annie lived in fear and emotional torment on a daily basis. Though she always believed God was real, and even caught supernatural glimpses of Him along the way, Annie could never seem to find the relationship with Him she longed for. Finally, when a high school teacher invited Annie to hear a Christian speaker, Annie prayed to receive Jesus. This life-altering event set her on a path toward healing, deliverance, and restoration, where she learned....How to renew her mind to the Word of God. How to find her true identity in Christ. How to break free from torment through the power of forgiveness. How to overcome rejection through receiving Jesus' love. How to exchange Satan's lies for God's truth. How to keep her children free from the issues of her past. How to know God as a Father to the fatherless Evil is real and it exists in this world; Annie's story proves it. More importantly, it proves that no matter how deep the enemy assaults, Jesus' love is deeper still. Nothing can separate us from that love, or the faithfulness of a heavenly Father who offers hope and healing to all who will reach out to Him and ask for His guidance to peace and freedom.

Scrappy Little Nobody
Author: Anna Kendrick
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1501117238
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
The New York Times bestselling collection of humorous autobiographical essays by the Academy Award nominated actress and star of Up in the Air and Pitch Perfect. Even before she made a name for herself on the silver screen starring in films like Pitch Perfect, Up in the Air, Twilight, and Into the Woods, Anna Kendrick was unusually small, weird, and “10 percent defiant.” At the ripe age of thirteen, she had already resolved to “keep the crazy inside my head where it belonged. Forever. But here’s the thing about crazy: It. Wants. Out.” In Scrappy Little Nobody, she invites readers inside her brain, sharing extraordinary and charmingly ordinary stories with candor and winningly wry observations. With her razor-sharp wit, Anna recounts the absurdities she’s experienced on her way to and from the heart of pop culture as only she can—from her unusual path to the performing arts (Vanilla Ice and baggy neon pants may have played a role) to her double life as a middle-school student who also starred on Broadway to her initial “dating experiments” (including only liking boys who didn’t like her back) to reviewing a binder full of butt doubles to her struggle to live like an adult woman instead of a perpetual “man-child.” Enter Anna’s world and follow her rise from “scrappy little nobody” to somebody who dazzles on the stage, the screen, and now the page—with an electric, singular voice, at once familiar and surprising, sharp and sweet, funny and serious (well, not that serious).
