Good Points: Excellent engaging writing with an unbelievable story

General comments: I found Forget You Had a Daughter to be incredibly inspirational. I cannot comprehend what Sandra Gregory went though even after reading this book as it is just too awful. Her story has given me a new appreciation for a life where I am free in so many ways. This book is honest and brave, despite reading about sickening experiences and horrific crimes you emerge at the end of the book feeling inspired by Gregory's strength to pull through. The book is an emotional roller coaster so don't expect this to be an easy read, but it is completely worth it.NOTE: It will make you incredibly angry at the lack of intelligence within the British judicial system and dumbfounded by the sheer lack of desire for real rehabilitation within British prisons and reeling at the number of people who prevent it by not listening!

I have just finished reading Forget You Had a Daughter by Sandra Gregory for pobably the 5th time, although it could be more! An honest, emotional and inspiring book about a girl who simply made a stupid mistake...but my god did she pay for it. My tears have fallen on the pages of this book so many times and i just thank god that she received her "pardon" and is leading a happy and peaceful life. You paid for your mistakes, more than you should have and this so called "system" must be changed. ...

I absolutely love this book......i have had a copy of Sandra Gregory's, "Forget You Had a Daughter" for 4 years now and i have read it many times! I love, and was a little surprised at how honest i thought Sandra Gregory was from the first page.....and also how she kept her honesty through out her time...in all prisons.
I do think it was disgusting how they sent Gregory to Durham but to the same wing as all these evil people??? i am surprised how the sentence in Thailand for what she did was i ...

It's candid and brave. Very happy and moved that Sandra emerged those terrible years in prison a person with much more understanding of life. It's a book I'll not forget.

Forget you had a daughter is not a bad book, but having read some of the competition it has I'm afraid that the book just fails to deliver to the same level... I must admit to finishing the book and having little or no sympathy for the author. My enjoyment of what could have been a very interesting book was tainted by the fact that I found it too self pitying.... Shame.

This book enables us to realise and also make offenders like her know that the pain and shame that you've bring to the family. And also what is it like when you realised that you took your family members for granted and there's nothing to atone for what you've done now since you're going to die.

I not only read Sandra's book, but I lived with her there in Lard Yao for four of her five years. I spent a total of 9. While a lot of the book was point on in it's accuracy, there were several issues that were distorted and untrue. Sandra is a great person, and I called her a friend, but there was a lot of negativity about other inmates that I felt should have been handled better and in some cases avoided all together.

Thoroughly enjoyed Sandra Gregory, Forget You Had a Daughter. Appauled at the way she was treated and felt the punishment severely outweighed the crime. Would definately recommend to a friend. Very inspirational.

Well, i found Sandra Gregory writing style transported me to Thailand as i read it, the only disappointing aspect was that she seemed to go out of her way to downgrade africans-nigerians specifically. That part of the book seemed too personal and vengeful to be story telling (however factual it maybe.) So if you are african with a soft/touchy side-dont buy the Forget You Had a Daughter book, i will summarise it for you. she went to thailand and was mislead to smuggle, she did and she paid genero ...
