I have to say the first moment i started reading the book, i did not want to stop reading it.
The story was very touching, it made me feel sorry for Constance, but at the same time i found myself laughing...
Her sence of humour made me laugh, the way she manage to get by each day...is a miracle..

I have read the first book and must say it is so sad that constance had to go though this kind of physical and emotional abuse. constance I believe you keep holding your head up high.

a few lines about your children and the end of your relstionship.
i feel this should have been wrote about further rather than crammed in at the end, and maybe a little bit more of your life after your mother, rather than pages about the british crown prosecution service.

This book is not a fantasy ,. I have Jamaican parents and these scenes I dare say described in ugly are real especially to that era. Well done Constance.

With people like Constance, who have struggled to come up from the bottom despite incredible abuse and lack of support in the family environment, as Judges this world is a better place. Someone who has the fortitude and strength of character to move on despite the challenges and hardships faced.

I have read Ugly and it is not such a story that can be made up. I am currently reading Beyond Ugly and I believe it is an amazing book that should deserve praise, not greif, I think Constance has had enough of that in her life time. She's an example to us all, I wish her all the best.

your book is fantastic and I totally believe all of it, though you must have suffered an awful lot. Hang on in there!

I have read the book Ugly and I am positive that the evnts that took place did happen. It's true, that maybe she did not get some of the dates right, but surely, it's what happened that matters?!

I totally believe Constance's story! My mother did some of the things her mother did (I was one of 4 at the time). I was made to sleep in a wet bed night after night too.
Reading Constance's story was almost like reading about my own life. My mother did apologise shortly before she died 5 yrs ago.

As a third year law student, having read both Constance's books I can say I was utterly captivated and inspired by the story she had to tell. Reading the account of her childhood has made me more determined to enter into the legal profession once I have graduated in July 2009. Thank You.

I read the first book last year and my 12 year old daughter is now reading it. The contents of the book are beyond the imagination of anyone - the details of the events and the manner in which they are written could only have come from from personal experience. Please think before commenting.

I work with children, some of whom have been abused, and know how easily the adults can manipulate their offspring and others' perception of them. I have seen absolutely no reason to doubt the events and hope that the few adults who helped Constance will be able to come to her aid again.

And she is a judge! No wonder there are so many problems in the system!
