BOOK REVIEW: CHILD C
My Rating *****
From the very first page, I was hooked on Christopher Spry's story of survival. The physical scars are bad enough, but the emotional scars are worse. It's amazing this young man even survived to adulthood. In so many aspects Christopher should be dead - ingesting toxic cleaning fluids, starved, being dragged by a car and then just the many blows to his head. His foster mother was pure evil as she hid behind her religious views. As hard as a book like this is to read - sometimes it's necessary so that maybe somewhere else another child in the same situation might be saved. Perhaps social workers will do their jobs more efficiently and people will pay closer heed to the warning signs that are often overlooked. As hard as it seemed for Christopher to share his story, I can only hope that his future will be brighter as he makes peace with his demons. A highly recommend read. Reviewed by: Tamera Lawrence
