The book PUNISHED authored by Vanessa Steel. This book was about a girl child(author herself) tormented, tortured and abused by her mother and her grand father(maternal). The reason behind the torture was that she was '' adopted'' by her parents. (At the end of the novel this adoption angle gave a unique twist to the story).
While sufferings at the hands of her mother, she experienced a paranormal entities talking to her. Ultimately, these spirits guided and saved her from choosing a wrong path in her life.
The story started with the mother of the author being taken to hospital in a serious condition. While traveling to the hospital the author recounts her childhood days. The major part of the book was dedicated to her childhood and her trauma . The story ends with her mother being declared dead by the hospital. Then, one may ask what is the connection between the story and the title '' punished''. I leave it to the members to read this book and come to their own conclusion....
