Review: Startling, harrowing and surprising - This account of a childhood in Rotherham, England, is both raw and admirable. It is also very clever. I tried to expunge the newspaper accounts of child abuse cases I had seen while reading it, and found myself wondering when the story would reveal itself. Yes, it is written in an authentic South Yorkshire vernacular, yes it is a story of childish precocity and wilfulness, underage sex, neglect by family, friends, schools, the police, and almost everyone who is involved in social services. Sammy Woodhouse was, it has to be said, a real handful, and nothing anyone said to her seemed to dissuade her from getting what she wanted. But then, three-quarters of the way through the book, I suddenly realised the reader is, in a sense, as 'duped' as Sammy was. Everything in those earlier chapters is within the context of her skilful grooming by the ghastly "Ash" and his family. She was trapped by her childish emotions, the fact that she grew up too soon, and the dreadful consequences of her existence. This is not a clichéd account. Sammy was not 'in care' - on the whole, her family were kind and there for her. She was not 'handed around' dozens of paedophiles - "Ash" seemed to keep her very much for himself. But it is a harrowing and startling story which should be read by anyone with an opinion, or even a view, on Child Sexual Exploitation. What does come out of it is Sammy Woodhouse's concern, intelligence, courage, forgiveness, and determination to devote her life to the exposure of this veritable 'crime against humanity'. A remarkable achievement. One is left (and I read it in three days, having a cannot-put-it-down experience) hoping she will have the happiest of lives from now on. Many, in the same situation as Sammy, will have reason to thank her for the positive outcome of her revelations.
