Product Information
For Kim Woodburn finding fame in her 60s in the smash hit television series How Clean is Your House? with fellow dust-buster Aggie Mackenzie is like living a fairytale. Often she has simply wished that she had never been born, for Kim has overcome horrific emotional and physical abuse both at the hands of her alcoholic mother and her philandering, sexually abusive father. In her brave and revealing story Kim s memories of growing up are not of love and cuddles, but of beatings and random cruelty. Shuttled between the brutal houses of her warring parents, a succession of miserable children s homes and a grim convent Kim s past has cast a long shadow over her life. But just before her sixteenth birthday she finally made her escape. It has taken decades of hard work, and a wonderfully happy marriage to conquer depression but now she has emerged unbowed and unbeaten as Britain s Queen of Clean.Product Identifiers

An eye opener.
At times witty, at times heartwarming and at times heartbreaking, this is a no holds bared insight into the background of one of televisions more popular personalities. Anyone who watched Agi and Kim will be shocked by Kim's past, but heartened by her resilience and strength of character that has enabled her to come through all that has been thrown her way. You get the feeling that the past is far from forgotten, despite the upbeat prose of the book, a lot that still needs to be worked out, but it is truthful and honest. You really feel for Kim by the end, but you know that she would not welcome your pity, your understanding is enough.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
