Growing up in poverty in London's East End, Kathy was eight years old when her small-time gangster father forced her mother into prostitution. Her mother fled, leaving Kathy and her sisters behind. The girls stuck fiercely together while being passed from children's homes to boarding schools. Then, on a rare trip home, Kathy saw a man firing four shots into a Rolls-Royce. It took several seconds for her to realise that the victim was her mother's lover, and the gunman was her father. Kathy began her haunting memoir when, as an adult, she travelled back to London to confront her past. Dance for your Daddy is an extraordinary true story of the effects on one family of poverty, affluence, violence and love.
