Written by Rosemarie Smith
And Molly II
About the author -
Born in Chesterfield in 1958, Rosemarie lived
with her parents and nine other siblings in a small council house at Eckington, Derbyshire.
Following
the break up of her parents, she and her siblings were abandoned and left to cope
on their own.
Suffering from both physical and severe sexual abuse, at the age of nine she was
placed into the care of The Social Services.
For five years she was moved from one
children's home to another, eventually returning to live with her mother, which had
disastrous results.
After suffering a break down she was advised by her counsellor
to write a therapeutic journal which resulted in her writing the true story of 'Little
Molly'.
