In 1999, at the age of twenty-two, Arabella Joseph suddenly found herself in a psychiatric hospital. An incident with a male colleague had precipitated a dramatic reminder of her past - a reminder of herself as an eleven-year-old girl who was sexually abused by her uncle. When She Was Bad is a heart-wrenching journey of discovery as Arabella Joseph revisits her childhood with unflinching candour. Told under a pseudonym, this beautifully written memoir of triumph and hope will move readers from the first page to the last.
