The asylum / Carol Minto.

London : Mirror Books, 2021.

1 volume ; 20 cm

Born into poverty and with mostly absent parents, Carol helped to raise her 9 siblings. But when she was just 11 years old, her older brother began to sexually abuse her. After 4 years, Carol managed to escape - and ran away from home. Picked up by social services they place her at Aston Hall in Derby; a psychiatric hospital now infamous for the ghoulish 'truth serum' experiments it carried out on children. Over 3 years, Carol was stripped, sedated, assaulted and raped by Kenneth Milner, the doctor in charge. Eventually she is released back into the community, aged 18, and has a daughter. But the baby is taken away for adoption and Carol's trauma intensifies. In 2010 Carol finally plucked up the courage to speak out about the abuse she suffered - and received justice. In this book, Carol tells the full story of how she overcame unimaginable suffering, to find the happiness and solace she has today.
