Paris: The Memoir

With this book I always wanted to know what happened next. It is hard to put down. You will want to keep reading it.

A brave, honest memoir detailing horrific abuses of power within institutions. The impact this has had on Paris is clearer in the way she avoids looking too deeply at the first date rape episode of which involved her drink being spiked, but it's obvious her parents, particularly her mother feel so guilty - as the rightly should - for disbelieving her when she disclosed the physical and sexual abuse she wax suffering at the hands of the staff in the so-called boarding school/medical facility she was imprisoned for Te'o years within. Her strength and attitude is inspiring, but I can't help wondering if she's still trapped in an element of denial when it comes to part her parents played in her predicament. Overall, this memoir brings to light a billion dollar industry that thrives on vulnerable children keeping quiet, and has resulted in the lifelong trauma of those that survived and the addiction and suicides of those who didn't. Hopefully the information contained within the raw, heartbreaking book forces the government to act to shut the places down and bring those who must be held accountable to account. It also raises awareness of the issue of consent and the epidemic of men feeling entitled to rendering girls unconscious and raping them for their own sexual gratification to give themselves a feeling of power. This was not explored, I don't think Paris is ready, but it's just as damaging. The abuse of minors and the sexual assault of women must be eradicated and any book that brings these issues to light is worth reading. Paris is a courageous, beautiful, positive woman and I'm glad she's finally free, and pray she one day finds ultimate peace.

Todo correcto,aunque Amazon debería proteger más los paquetes ya que al ser un envío desde Reino Unido hasta España es un trayecto muy largo y lo paquetes sufren más deterioros,por suerte el libro está en perfectas condiciones (aunque la caja del envío llegó destrozada).

Love love love this book. I felt so many emotions and have a new found respect for Paris. It also made me realise that I have ADHD, I wasnt just a weird kid woth struggles.

Man erfährt vieles über Paris‘ Leben, was man noch nicht wusste. Gut geschrieben & schönes Cover.
