My pen name is Nabila Sharma and I am a Muslim. I am 36 years old and come from the Midlands (England). I'm happily engaged to a wonderful man who I plan to marry next year. I work in the film/TV industry and also work with children.

My book Brutal is a true account of what happened to me. It’s a hard-hitting book, for which I make no apology because, only by speaking out, can we stamp out this kind of abuse. Brutal is available from Amazon, WHSmith, Morrison’s, and Waterstones.

I am also in the process of writing a children’s book so for any child out there who like me cannot speak out or understand what is going on by reading my book may find that voice to shout out and tell someone.

If you believe a child is being abused, in the UK, please contact the NSPCC on 0808 800 5000.
