"An emotional account of sexual abuse, grooming and a horrific and prolonged attack and the even longer fight for justice and lasting change."
Sammy experienced a number of sexual attacks throughout her childhood. First there was “The Man” when she was eight. Then “The Boy” when she was nine. When she was 12 Sammy was groomed online by a man pretending to be 18 before being assaulted in his car. Weeks later, after being summarily dismissed by officers at a police station when reporting a separate incident in a graveyard, she falls into the clutches of a Paedophile ring, directly outside the station, and was the victim of a horrific and prolonged attack by multiple men, only one of whom was ever convicted. As acknowledged in Undefeated, it reads like a horror film. But worse, because it’s real. Each time you think Sammy might be safe on that horrendous night, another tidal wave of torture sweeps her away. The impacts of that night are far reaching and the path to overcome them is a long one that hasn’t finished yet.
With the help of bestselling author and journalist Ann Cusack, Samantha Walker-Roberts tells her heart wrenching story in evocative fashion. Undefeated is a harrowing account and a damning condemnation of the systems that should have been in place to protect Sammy and then didn't deliver justice, ending with the faintest flicker of hope for change potentially on the horizon. This is a powerful and emotionally turbulent read.
