Born on the wrong side of the sheets in the dead of a bitter Scottish night, a tiny baby girl is born and later abandoned on a cold doorstep. Who is she? Why was she abandoned, and what would her destiny be? Sheila has huge odds against her from the beginning. A childhood blighted by sadistic beatings at the hand of her own father. She lives in daily dread of his violence and relies on her half siblings for care and affection. In her early teens, her father's abuse becomes sexual. At the close of World War II, Sheila is raped by a man she liked and trusted and gives birth to a son. Would cruel act finally destroy her? A wasted life 'crying over spilt milk', is not for Sheila; she refuses to remain a victim. She determines to use all her courage, tenacity and strength to live an inspiring life. Her uplifting story brings hope and encouragement to those going through adversity. Told with unflinching honesty by her daughter, Pamela, 'Sheila's story reveals the strength of character her mother possessed; the spark of hope within that refused to die. "Sheila' is wonderfully hopeful and uplifting, you will laugh and you will cry, but you will never forget Sheila's story.
