Book description
Given away by her mother at five months old, raped on the day of her
first communion at age seven - when Celine Roberts was told 'No one
wants you', she believed it.
Illegitimate and unwanted, Celine was forced by her foster mother
into prostitution. Her bones were broken, her nose was crushed and she
ate candle wax to stay alive.
Celine was finally rescued and sent to an industrial school, where
she picked up the pieces of her shattered life. She also began the
search for her parents. But what she found gave her battered survival
instincts the hardest knock of all ...
Full of the most heartbreaking tragedy but ultimately survival and
hope, No One Wants You is the remarkably honest and compelling
memoir of a woman triumphing over her brutal past.
Now in her late fifties, Celine Roberts has recently completed a
Masters in Neurology and Rehabilitation at Brookes College, Oxford. She
says, 'My son, his wife and my beautiful grandchild are my family now.'
She lives in Surrey.
