Description

Carol Minto's harrowing story of survival and resilience is a testament to the human spirit's capacity to overcome unimaginable suffering. Born into poverty and with absent parents, Carol was forced to take on a caregiving role for her nine siblings at a young age. However, her life took a devastating turn when she was just 11 years old, and her older brother began to abuse her. Carol's experiences in Aston Hall, a psychiatric hospital notorious for its inhumane 'truth serum' experiments, are a stark reminder of the dark history of child abuse and neglect. Despite being subjected to physical and emotional assault, Carol found the courage to escape and rebuild her life. It wasn't until 2010, when she finally found the strength to speak out, that she received justice and began to heal. In The Asylum, Carol shares her powerful story of survival, trauma, and ultimately, triumph. This is a heart-wrenching and thought-provoking account of one woman's journey towards healing and happiness.
