... can be a bit difficult to read when the worst of events happen
Harrowing story and can be a bit difficult to read when the worst of events happen. However, it's well written and shows that even people with the worst of starts in life can come out the other side fighting.

Excellent
A fantastic conclusion and remarkable ending. I was disappointed at first as the first couple of.chapters are a repeat of the first book. However I was capitulated by toni's resilience and inspired by her strength

This book tells her story after her father was sent to prison for what he did and life didn't get any better for her
This is the follow up book to Don't Tell Mummy, a harrowing true story about how a young girl was abused by her father from the age of 6. This book tells her story after her father was sent to prison for what he did and life didn't get any better for her. Although parts of the book are horrifying it is so well written and I was in awe of this lady for what she went through and still managed to come out of the other side and live her life.

The book is very good but as the first one was excellent, this one was a little behind. I still recommend reading it if you read the first one. It is always good to hear a true story and how the person managed to overcome it!

This is not an easy book to read. The emotional abuse and rejection this young girl has to deal with is so sad and so painful. I greatly admired and was amazed by her persistence in finding the positive in her situations. I was infuriated by the actions of those who blamed her for the horrible abuse she suffered at the hands of her father. How anyone could blame a young girl for her father raping her is beyond my comprehension. What was even worse in many ways was the reaction by the mother which was even more damaging than the physical abuse by the father. He was given a very short prison sentence. He should have been locked up for life, in my opinion. If he had been, perhaps the daughter would not have went through the misery she did and could have actually built a relationship with her mother; but the moment he came home the mother made her choice yet again. Highly recommended - 5 stars.

You must read the first book before reading this one. This book is a continuation of what occurred during the first book Don't Tell Mummy. Her dad abused her from the time she was 6 years old, he was a sick disgusting man. He impregnated his daughter when she was 14 and went to jail for this crime. After being released is what When Daddy Comes Home talks about. In the first book, the people in that town where she lived turned their backs on this child and even family turned their backs on this child. They still were by the fathers side. Makes you wonder what sickos live in that town. I mean seriously supporting the perpetrator over the victim, especially a little child. Even the school kicked her out, I think they should be sued. May God have mercy on them. I would never want to move to a place like that. A place that supports pedophiles.
