About The Book
The Unloved Child
Sometimes, words like sadness, grief, and pain feel too small—and that is exactly what readers will realize as they journey through this book. Surviving cruelty at the hands of her own mother, Wendeline McDonald unearths a childhood filled with unimaginable pain, betrayal, and resilience. This deeply personal memoir exposes the harsh realities of a life shaped by relentless abuse—physical, sexual, and emotional.
However, this isn’t a story about pain.
It’s about the fragile, furious act of stitching your brokenness into something stronger.
Wendeline writes not as a hero but as someone who still flinches at raised voices, who battles ghosts in quiet moments—yet refuses to let her past own her. Her words are a hand reaching through the page, saying, “I see you. You’re not ruined. And you don’t have to carry this alone.”
For anyone who’s ever…
➜ Felt like “damaged goods” after abuse…
➜ Hidden behind “I’m fine” while drowning inside…
➜ Wondered if healing is a lie for people, unlike you…
…this is your flag to plant in the ground.
Not a self-help guide. Not a fairy tale.
Just raw, imperfect proof that even the deepest cracks let in light.
