OUR WRITERS MEAN BUSINESS 
Two girls. Both ex-cons and former working girls. One accused of murder…
She was found at the crime scene in a pool of someone else’s blood with the murder weapon still in her hand and no memory of how she got there. No wonder that the police believe Elizabeth Johnson isguilty of the so-called Sacred Heart Murder - a young woman viciously stabbed to death in a South London church.
Only Elizabeth’s best-friend, Sam Bailey, is determined to stand by her. But like Sam, Elizabeth is an ex-con and a former prostitute. No one will believe that she was in the wrong place at the wrong time. After all with a past like hers, she has to be guilty of something…

TO THE SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER
It was Constance's mother who told her she was ugly. Over and over again.
And that was just one strand of a childhood blighted by physical and emotional
abuse. But the young girl had a strength and resilience beyond her years.
She put herself through university, financing her studies with several jobs
-- including one caring for the terminally ill in a hospice -- and then
fulfilled a lifelong ambition by joining a prestigious set of legal chambers.
But Constance's troubles were not over !

**THE
SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER**
*** THE TRUE STORY OF ONE GIRL'S STRUGGLE TO SURVIVE A CHILDHOOD OF CALCULATED
CRUELTY***
"A shocking, disturbing yet inspiring story" Daily Mail
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 thirteen, 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.
'If ever there was a book that celebrated the human spirit this is it.'
