KERI 6

The Original Child Abuse True Story (Child Abuse True Stories)

By: Kat Ward

Narrated by: Bridget Thomas

Child Abuse True Stories presents the penultimate volume of Kat Ward's sensational autobiography! Just months after Kat Ward was vindicated in a high-profile court case brought against her by a British celebrity, listeners can now download part six of her fascinating life story.

Despite leaving the courtroom with her reputation intact, Kat's inner life was in turmoil, and it was only due to the loyal support and steadfast encouragement of her ever-increasing fan-base that she managed to complete the sixth volume so soon.

Following on from the fifth book, in which she lost her identity but somehow found herself a husband, Karin now finds herself in the precarious position of having to move in with her partner's family - a move known to strain even the tightest of marital bonds.

But, tight bonds are seldom established by those who grew up learning not to trust, and the status of being the only black sheep in a house full of sacred cows eventually takes an irreparable toll on the marriage; forcing the young Karin out of the house and onto the streets.

In what might be described as the first truly "grown up" volume in the series, Kat, now in her 20s, is left with no choice but to face the world completely alone. Homeless, penniless, and holding the (not just proverbial) baby, she resorts to begging by the roadside in order to get by.

Her desperate search for protection leads her down some dark alleys, and before long, she realizes the uncomfortable truth: that shelter is a commodity to be bargained for. And, with little more than her dignity to bargain with, it is perhaps not surprising that the arms she ends up in are not all tender and loving. In fact, she soon finds she needs protection from the protection itself - a theme all too familiar for readers and listeners of the prior books. The woman who was abused her entire childhood now recounts her terror at being subjected as an adult to violent alcoholic rages, false accusations, and even rape at the hands of her sadistic tormentor, who insists on holding her captive. Once again in need of an escape route, she makes a daring bid for freedom. Yet, despite coming so close, she falls short and ends up swapping one set of bars for another.

tragic and real not for those with a weak stomach

I work with a used children and families and feel her story gave me insight into the presentation I see but don't always understand. Her story is hard breaking. My hear breaks for her and her children.

Where are 7 & 8!!??

I want to meet this woman!! I'm not sure where her life has taken her since Audible doesn't have Keri 7 & 8!! I found myself shaking my head, yelling "don't do it!", or "don't be stupid!" & "Fuck that! I would have walked back!!" & other times brought to tears (Peanuts!!), or so angry I wanted to track people down and beat the shit out of them (her mother & Joan)!!! You can't read just one!! sart at the beginning & read them all!!

Seriously, Kat, I really want to meet you!! 💖

Love these books

I truly enjoy these books because her writing flows with the perfect amount of detail to her surroundings. I love the voice and intonations of the reader she fits perfectly. And the true life message of her story is how the long arms of childhood abuse embrace her entire days.

Absolutely love!

This whole series is awesome! I absolutely loved listening to it. I’m hoping for another episode to come out.

Why Keri allows people to control her.

It really makes me upset that Audible is missing every other volume in this 8 book series! That’s pretty dirty, Audible!
