If you have experienced child abuse, sexual abuse, domestic violence and a life of complete choas and heartbreak this story is for you! I found it tragic and distressing to read. It never seemed to end because the abuse and heart ache went from the childhood and into adulthood. The author leaves nothing to the imagination in this raw and honest account of her truth her memories. She even writes of her own bad decisions and consequences she had to face. Her heartache over so much loss! I wish her all the best as she continues on her life journey and believe she has learned from her past to keep going no matter what. I will be thinking of the sadness and the heartache for days, weeks and months to come! Suz M

Kylie-Anne has had a hard life & her story is interesting & also quite tragic at times. Unfortunately it was quite confusing trying to follow along sometimes because she would suddenly be talking about someone random like the reader should know who that person is but she hadn't introduced the character. And she sometimes jumped from one subject to the next in the same paragraph which was also confusing! I think maybe this book is self published? It didn't seem as though the book was proof read & edited.

I read this book while unwell, coming off medication with headaches and brain fog. So it took me a bit longer to read then usual. I found it an easy read, and it was easy to come back to after a few days. Written well and easy to follow
Reviewed in Australia on 23 July 2020
I have just finished reading Born to Survive by Kylie-Anne Evans. It is a confronting true story containing stories of sexual abuse, life in dysfunctional foster homes and on the streets.
I found the subject matter disturbing at times, but life is often disturbing and very difficult. The biggest thing that shone through in this book, for me, is the courage and resilience of the author. I think most of us would not have survived these ordeals. Ms Evans opens herself up and lays it all out for us to see.
One thought that kept nagging me as I read, was that I kept thinking to myself, “our society has to do better than this!”. People fall through cracks in the system, often through no fault of their own. We need to be more vigilant and offer more empathy towards the lost and vulnerable.
I recommend this book to readers who are mature enough to read between the lines a bit and those who have any semblance of a heart! This book will touch the heart and disturb the mind. All who read will have a strong opinion of the subject matter by the end of the book.

A true survivor story.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 May 2020Verified Purchase
I enjoyed this book. The openness, the author sharing her brutal cold hard truth of a life was relatable, heartbreaking, and sometimes funny. I usually don't read this sort of stuff, but couldn't stop reading. I'm looking forward to the next installment. I hope that others read this, and realise it's okay to seek help, and to know others have been there.

Hats off to a brave lady!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 August 2021Verified Purchase
When reading this book you live through all the hardship, raw emotion, abuse and loss that this lady has suffered but also connect with the happier times and the strong underlying message to never give up. Kylie-Anne has put pen to paper to share her experiences, thoughts, mindset and resilience surrounding the somewhat taboo subject of abuse, rape and mental illness to give people a greater awareness and understanding. Alongside all this the author adds humour which clearly shows the true character and stoicism of this brave lady. Its an inspiring and though provoking book and I send my heartfelt thanks to Kylie Anne for having the courage to write her memoirs.

Crap
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 February 2022Verified Purchase
This book should have been called 'Poor Me'. The author wrote this book to get back at the members of her family and tell everyone else about the poor life that she has had. She needs to grow a pair and grow up and stop feeling sorry for herself. I wouldn't recommend anybody read this book it's a waste of time. Everyone has their own problems that are real

Poorly written
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 September 2020Verified Purchase
It was confusing as names were being mentioned as the reader was supposed to know who they were. It was very poorly written yet it could have been a good story to tell.
