For Lisbeth, it was a childhood without perimeters. It was blighted by poverty, sexual abuse, neglect, betrayal, and further victimization by the broken Danish social services system that forced Lisbeth to live where and how it saw fit. Coming of age with a myriad of fears and emotional disorders, Lisbeth had three things that would become driving forces in her life: she was extraordinarily bright, extremely willful, and exceptionally angry. From hell to liberation, this is Lisbeth's emotional and galvanizing memoir told in two voices: that of a young girl who was unwanted, challenged, and defiant, and that of a woman who channeled her rage into a positive force as a passionate advocate for children's rights. Whatever darkness defines the past, it can be used to change the future. Lisbeth's heart-wrenching and ultimately uplifting journey is proof. 546 In English, translated from the Dutch. 600 10 Andersen, Lisbeth Zornig,|d1968- 600 10 Andersen, Lisbeth Zornig,|d1968-|xFamily. 650 0 Economists|zDenmark|vBiography. 650 0 Political activists|zDenmark|vBiography. 655 7 Autobiographies.|2lcgft 700 1 Mussari, Mark,|etranslator.
