Ugly Child: My Own Terrifying True Story of Child Abuse and the Desperate Fight for Survival (Skylark Child Abuse True Stories Book 3)

Kate Skylark was born with cerebral palsy, which would have made childhood hard enough on its own. Her disability, however, was not the only thing she had to endure. At school and at home she faced constant verbal and physical attacks from others, and these gradually became more serious and more violent. Her young life turned into a daily struggle for survival, and she was driven to take desperate steps to escape the torment. This memoir tells her own story, from the bullying and abuse of her childhood to the fight to survive it, written by the woman who lived it.
