Books
Left as a newborn in a box outside Stoke City Football ground, Nicky Nicholls grandparents took her into their home. But instead of finding sanctury, Nicky was subjected to horrific sexual abuse through her childhood. In 1951, when Nicky was six years old, her glamorous-looking estranged mother arrived on the doorstep to 'rescue' her and take her to London to live with her new family. But Nicky's hopes of a safe and loving life were very soon smashed, and her world became darker still. This book tells the details of an extraordinary woman's rise from the horror of a deeply damaging childhood to a new, creative and independent life.
