I am Nanna ebook

I Am Nanna is a devastating exposé of a system meant to protect—but which destroys instead. Nanna should have been safe. Placed in foster care as a child, she endured years of abuse and sexual assault whilst overburdened social workers turned a blind eye to her suffering. When Nanna finally found the courage to speak out, those meant to safeguard her dismissed her allegations. She had an overactive imagination, they said. She was attention-seeking. She needed to learn to live with it—even as she lived in daily terror of encountering her rapist. Only when her sister broke her silence did authorities act. But the nightmare wasn't over. Moved to what seemed a promising new placement, Nanna was instead abandoned to isolation and despair. A searing indictment of institutional failure and a powerful testament to survival, I Am Nanna asks urgent questions about who we trust to protect our most vulnerable—and what happens when that trust is shattered.
