    Narrated by Charlie Sanderson

    About this audiobook

    Barbara was 12 when she was admitted to the psychiatric hospital, Aston Hall, in 1971. From a troubled home, she'd hoped she would find sanctuary there. But during her stay, Barbara was systematically drugged and abused by its head physician, Dr Kenneth Milner. Somehow, eventually, she started to campaign for answers. This is a shocking account of how vulnerable children were preyed upon by the doctor entrusted with their care.

      When Wendy Asked What We Dream

      When Wendy asked what we dream, I wanted to say war and drowning. Not drowning exactly, but the moment when the choice is made to drown or not drown, before the mouth opens. Instead I said I never dream of cats. But that night I remembered the cats I

      The Education of Mrs. R.

      Sep 6, 2022

      An adolescent shriek woke her. Cockerels, she thought, cockerels, with a wry twist to the word. She lay in the dark listening. There was no use in covering her head; the screaming still came through. The soloist was suddenly submerged in the chorus.

    • 5/5
      An honest account of child abuse by people who should of been in a position of trust. This should by made into a film if it hasn’t already. How brave you was Barbara my heart goes out to you.
    • 5/5
      Intriguing narrative told in first person. Inspite of the terrifically sad truth to her life story I found it redeeming and courageous. A story of overcoming horrific obstacles.
    • 5/5
      Highly recommend . Such a sad story, such a warrior . I want to cuddle and nurture the young Barbara and applaud her as a woman . Well done
    • 5/5
      This book is a harrowing read made all the more horrific by its true content
    • 5/5
      Absolutely heart breaking. What a strong child then woman she is.
    • 5/5
      I listen to this book on the recommendation of Angie Power-Disney. Such a heartbreaking story that should never have been allowed to happen. Children are gifts from God. Barbara is such an inspiration, always looked at the good in everything and never gave up hope.
    • 5/5
      Really enjoyed this book. Highly recommend it. Really has a hole in the medical department that they treat people that way!!
    • 5/5
      Such a sad sad story of a childhood so cruelly destroyed. My heart goes out to every child who suffered at the hands of those that should have been their protectors.
    • 5/5
      Such a sad story but amazing to listen to. Worth reading
    • 4/5
      An extremely good read. Well written and read. Shocking, emotional and informative. Loved it.
    • 5/5
      Wow. Hard to listen during much of it because of the horror, but it was very inspiring especially at the end. Such an important story.
    • 5/5
      Heartbreaking and important book. I hope the whole truth will come out very soon.
    • 5/5
      These are modern times , my lifetime I'm only 60 and society in Britain continues daily in 2023 to disgust me of the cover ups , lies and mental illness care that was provided by the mentally insane covered up by alleged professionals . And it continues.
