Publisher Description
Constance's mother systematically abused her daughter, both physically and emotionally, throughout her childhood. Regularly beaten and starved, the girl was so desperate she took herself off to Social Services and tried to get taken into care. When that failed, she swallowed bleach "because it kills all known germs and my mother always told me I was a germ".
When Constance was 13, her mother simply moved out, leaving her daughter to fend for herself. There was no gas, no electricity, and no food. But somehow Constance found the courage to survive her terrible start in life. This is her heartrending, and ultimately triumphant, story.

Ugly
You can get straight into this. It's very moving and touching almost like your constance herself.
LISTEN TO THIS AUDIOBOOK (Also buy the real book)
Then read beyond ugly
Need an Unabridged version really...
It seemed rushed... I read this book years ago and was very much excited to listen to the audiobook as well. But to my disappointment I feel robbed! Need to hear this in depth and detail just like the actual book itself.
