Summary

A deeply moving memoir of survival, resilience and finding your voice.

‘There was no one to save me… but I survived.’

I was just a child when everything changed.
The kind of childhood no one sees — and no one talks about.

What happened behind closed doors shaped everything that came after.

For years, I carried it.
Silently. Alone.

Until I couldn’t anymore.

This is the story of what happened…
But more than that — it’s the story of what came after.

The panic.
The shame.
The fight to rebuild a life that felt worth living.

Because surviving is only the beginning.

If you’ve ever felt broken, unheard, or like no one came when you needed them most…
this story is for you.

This was shocking to listen too, the abuse and the mum being silent about what was happening. I felt so sorry for the main character and what she went through even after she managed to get away her life was still spiralling downwards with the suicidal thoughts and depression. I’m happy she found some semblance at the end and has come out a better person.

Enjoyed listening to this honest, raw and very moving book. Narrator was fantastic. So glad that the author is on the right road to living life to fullest and no longer giving that monster another minute of her life. Worth a read!

An amazing recount of a journey to survival!

I want to said first, it takes a very strong woman to live through this and still be able to go on. This story had me from the beginning, I couldn’t stop listening. I recommend this audiobook. The author has an extremely well written and narrated story. This book is based on a true story and I personally have experience and was to scared to tell anyone. So listen to this story brought up old memories. I have over come my passed.
The narrator does a fantastic job with the characters and the voices of each character.
I am so proud that you had the courage to tell your story.
I definitely recommend this audiobook.

This is a heartbreaking story!

I read the ebook sometime ago and love this beautifully written account of a harrowing story.

I’m glad I have now listened to the audio. It is brilliantly narrated by Eleanor Shannon and enabled me to hear the story better from the authors view - rather than through the fog of prejudice and horror of my own making, that I felt when reading the ebook.

Both formats suit this account, different but complimentary.

No One To Save Me is the most harrowing of tales about a poor little child who ‘fell through cracks’, failing to be saved from the monster who tormented her, almost to death. The most awful, harrowing and disgusting sentence I may have ever read, referring to the abuse and neglect of this child is ‘It was just not convenient’ (for adults to take action).
I have been on over two years of training to work with vulnerable children. My local authority should have saved themselves the trouble and sat us down for Melissa Jordan to read us all No One to Save Me. And then they should sit down our wards, to be inspired by Melissa and shown a light.
Beautifully written.
I could barely bring myself to write the author’s name against my references to that poor broken child - and shame on me for that.

Beautifully written and narrated
