Rate this book
CHILD ABUSE TRUE STORIES VOLUME 7 OF KAT WARD'S SENSATIONAL AUTOBIOGRAPHY! After nearly a million words, three thousand pages, and countless nights of blood, sweat and tears, this truly is the book that needs no introduction! Kat Ward, the perennial survivor, has taken readers on a rollercoaster journey throughout her first six books, in which she lays bare the horrific events of her early life. Now, in this final chapter, she stares down the barrel of a mature existence, and realises that if she's ever going to live a normal life, she'll have to shed herself of her past completely, and start all over again. But after all the baggage is dumped, is there even anything left of the little girl within? This is a true story of child abuse. Reader discretion is advised.

Really enjoyed reading all of her life stories

I wish she would continue what her life was like after this book. This is a very good read. It opens your eyes as to what some people go through in life. Keri went through things so unimaginable.

Long winded

The first couple of books I wanted to go find the mother and step-father and give them what for, but the author stated to show her true self. While a young teen selling her body for money. Going from one man to another in a short period of time, an example of this is when Venice walked out she went to live with Mark within hours, of course she was just using Mark for a place to stay. Say I g she was raped many times, I believe she was raped a few times but not as often as she says. What a terrible mother, unlike her in the U.S. Great Britain gives out grants for all basic needs free housing, when I was a single mother working full time without child support, I could not get any benefits. Can't believe she lost not one but three of her children to the system and not try to get them back. She uses the excuse of her passed to justify her actions, you can't use that excuse forever, get some help and go forward in life. I'm this book she has another daughter who she adores but loses another one to the system, why didn't she right to get her daughter back. She blames her daughter because the baby has behavior problems, it was more than likely something medical causing the baby to act out, why didn't she take the baby in and have her looked at by a doctor. The author keeps talking about how all makes want her, hard to believe. I also was abused by my step-father, but did not use this as an excuse to act like trash. I am the same age as the author, I have raised three daughters, the first two as a single parent, my ex-husband walked out when I was 7 months pregnant with my second daughter, I went out and got a small apartment for my first daughter and I, I did not get free rent, clothes, good etc. I now have 6 grandkids, who I love and adore, get the author does not even know how many grandkids she haves. I just hope and pray you did the right thing with your last daughter, or did you get her taken away also. I also hope you received some mental help because she really needed it.

Infuriating

I’ve read 7 of Kat wards books. 6 and 7 has left me so infuriated. The way she speaks of her children, those who were taken in to care absolutely broke my heart. I kept on reading as I’d never not finish
a book!

After having such a traumatic upbringing in her younger years you’d expect her to refrain from being just like her mother. Unloving and so cold and bitter toward her children. Children that she didn’t even want but then goes on to say that social services stole her children and she was basically breading for them?
Her first two children were called all names under the sun she didn’t care fir them she didn’t want them.

Everything seemed to be everybody else’s fault but hers and she never helped herself in situations?
Took the pill even though she knew it was ineffective but didn’t think to use other precautions to not get pregnant with children she didn’t want?
Always making the same mistakes. The way she just walked away from things like her maisonette and making herself homeless! That to me is reckless and I just don’t understand how someone could do such things when you have responsibilities like children.
Never fighting fir her children! Ok so she wasn’t mother of the year but she was more interested in Mac and letting him do what ever he felt like doing instead of bothering with Andromeda! Where is she? Where are her two other children? And what made her love Fae but not the others?
If you’ve read the other books you will understand some of the tragedies Kat has gone through. But books 6 and 7 absolutely infuriated me to the point I cried and couldn’t stop for a while. Where I wanted to scream at her and tell her she needs to stop being so stupid, stop with the woe is me and get on with her life! You can’t walk away from your problems. Oh and another thing I know her emetophobia is traumatic but the way she goes on and on and on about it in book 6 made me want to vomit myself!

I’ve just seen there’s another book Keri 8 but I’m unsure I want to go through anymore trauma and frustration reading anymore of Kats books.

Kat is a very good story teller and I do enjoy reading her work but she doesn’t half infuriate me!

My own tears for Keri...

I can't let you go! I have digested every word you've written and ache to know you are well, that you achieved happiness with yourself. I know your psyche doesn't give you that liberty but God I pray you can attest to being blessed, perhaps loved at last. If at last you can see good in your life even though it is of your own production. You are gifted in your ability to communicate and I so hope you find comfort knowing you have reached, touched and even freed some of us who suffered some of the pains you so adequately described. Peace and love to you Keri!

Where's the rest?

After giving microscopic mundane details about nothing the series ends with Mac in prison and no clue as to what happened to Karin after that. Where's the rest of the story?

Wow.......what a life

So many holes! The children.....what became of them??? Are they ever reunited???? Life after Mac???you can't help but feel empathy for Keri, actually with her early days I am surprised the distinction was not much worse.

Just ok

I feel like the first 3 books were really good but then the last couple of books were very repetitive and boring.

Abrupt ending!

The writing pulls you right in. It just grabs you and off you go. I would have given this story 5stars but for the abrupt ending.

Good read

A life so sad. It all makes you wonder about justice in this world and how seemingly humans could behave so badly.

Good

Keri's adult life is anything but boring. Four children later Keri still suffers from the abusive childhood she lived. I'm hoping she writes another book to follow this one.

Keri 7 was spellbinding following along with the tragic life that has resulted from this poor girls horrible beginning and a mother who did not have an ounce of love compassion or caring for Kari. Too often this girl took 'love' where she found it, and just got used and abused some more. This is an excellent story showing how attachment disorder can affect all aspects of ones life. If that love and nurturing is not there i early life, we can "survive" but at what cost emotionally. I would hghly recommend keri 7 , but please read all in her series.
