Synopsis
Photographer Jo Ellen Hathaway thought she'd escaped the house called Sanctuary long ago. She'd spent her loneliest years there, after the sudden, unexplained disappearance of her mother. But now someone is sending her pictures; strange, candid close-ups, culminating in the most shocking portrait of all - a photo of her mother, naked, beautiful and dead. Jo decides she must return to face her bitterly estranged family: her father, who has never recovered from the loss of his wife, and her brother and sister. But while her presence stirs up old resentments, Jo finds solace with architect Nathan Delaney - who is also facing his own demons. But while Jo and Nathan look for a way to lay the past to rest, a more sinister presence is watching the Hathaway family with interest. It seems Sanctuary may be the most dangerous place of all...

My thoughtsSynopsis
Ugly and Beyond Ugly follows the story of Constance, who suffered abuse at the hands of someone who was supposed to give unconditional love - her mother.
It's heartbreaking, this story. At the same time, I found myself completely in awe of her determination to succeed in life, despite the many lemons life handed her. Read and be captivated by Constance.. who against all odds, have made herself a lady to be reckoned with.
She later filed a lawsuit against her mom and won. Read all about it here... http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/article5275784.ece
'I would like some cosmetic surgery.'
'For what reason?'
'Because I'm ugly, ugly, ugly.'
It was Constance's mother who told her she was ugly. Over and over again. And that was just one strand of a childhood blighted by physical and emotional abuse. But the young girl had a strength and resilience beyond her years.
She put herself through university, financing her studies with several jobs-including one caring for the terminally ill in a hospice – and then fulfilled a lifelong ambition by joining a prestigious set of legal chambers. But Constance's troubles were not over...Limited copies available
