âA memoir you read with the same breathlessness as you read the most gripping of novelsâ - iNewsâAstonishing â¦ a story that brims with life and hard-won hopeâ - Sunday TimesâFantastic. Could have been me. Could have been you. Could have been anyoneâ - Lee ChildWhen Tracy King was twelve she was exorcised. Unfortunately, the demons that beset Tracy could not be so easily displaced. While her life was filled with creativity, curiosity, and love, it was also constricted by poverty, by Tracyâs fatherâs alcoholism and her motherâs agoraphobia. By the time she turned twelve Tracyâs father had been killed, her sister taken into care and her mother ensnared by the promises of born-again Christianity. This is the story of an ordinary family trapped in a broken system. It is a story that could happen to anyone without the tools to transform their circumstances. But it is also a tale with a twist. And one full of humour and hope. Because with courage, perseverance and self-education, Tracy learnt to think for herself and found her way out. ............................................................................. ............................................................................. ...........................

In this evocative memoir, Tracy King confronts the stories we all tell ourselves in order to live.' HELEN LEWIS
