Product Description

'When I was a little girl I believed what I was told over and over again: that I was evil, that I deserved to be tortured because I was the Devil's child . . .'

In April 2007 foster-mother Eunice Spry was sentenced to fourteen years in prison for her sadistic abuse of the children in her care. The details of her cruelty were so sickening they shocked the country. Alloma Gilbert was one of Spry's young victims, sent to live with her at the age of six and left at her mercy for eleven brutal years.

Eunice used her own twisted religious beliefs as an excuse for punishing her foster children. When she took them to live on an isolated farmhouse, the abuse escalated to terrifying levels - a stick was thrust down Alloma's throat so often it was stained red with blood, she was starved for over a year and survived only by secretly eating pigswill, and the vicious beatings were relentless. At the age of seventeen she finally escaped but, alone in the outside world, she fell prey to abusive men. It was the birth of her baby daughter that saved her, that finally taught her what love really is. Written with powerful honesty, Deliver Me From Evil is a moving and inspiring story of survival.

YOU WON`T WANT TO PUT THIS BOOK DOWN..
This didn`t happen so long ago, and all the way through, as each year passed, i kept thinking `what was i doing then..?` I couldn`t believe i was having the best years of my life while this poor little girl was suffering so. Again, more children let down terribly by the system. An extremely sad story. One would have to have a very evil mind - or be very sick in the head - to come up with such mind boggling `punishments` as were dished out to Alloma and the other children in this wicked woman`s `care.`I was glad to see her get her cummupance. Alloma, as you say, this evil piece of scum will be an old woman when she gets out of prison, but you are still such a very young girl and have years and years ahead of you - enjoy them - don`t let her take another minute from you. You have your beautiful little girl and a good man to take care of you, it`s obvious your family love you very, very much, and now a lot of people are wishing you only good things and lots of happiness. God bless you darling. x

Heart Rendering......
I wasn't sure what to expect when i purchased this book. Ok i knew it was going to be a true account of what happened in the clutches of Eunice Spry but i found myself snapping this book shut quite a few times with the utter shock and disgust of what these poor children went through. I read this book basically in three nights due to the fact i couldn't put it down, well besides the few times i had to with the overwelming emotion i felt. This book is surprisingly graphic at times but no matter how you put these types of abuse into words i'm sure it will shock anyone. This book is wonderly written and shows us all how vile humans can be. I am sure that this is a huge step with the healing process for Alloma and I wish all the children who are now adults all the luck in the world to building a wonderful future, they deserve it.

*An inspiration to me*
This book is an exeptional inspiration to me and the courage in which this woman has is somewhat amazing. I wonder about the little things in this world that affect the people around us yet Miss Gilbert had the ultimate determination and strengh within her, that she must carry on for the sake of not just her but for other survivors and people to afraid to stand up to these bullies and evil scum (excuse my language lol). I always feel happy that a survivor of abuse can finally be out of their abuser's grasp and eventually be free.
