Description: "In September 2012, mother of five Davina Williams found two policemen on her doorstep. Her daughter "Gemma," fifteen, had been abducted by her thirty-year-old teacher Jeremy Forrest. It was the start of a year-long nightmare that still haunts the family. While the media painted a picture of doomed romance, Forrest had in fact abused his position of authority. The case received huge national press coverage and was an extremely high-profile, divisive talking point across the country due to the controversial media representations of their relationship. In The Runaway Schoolgirl, Davina Williams aims to silence those who bought into the romance by telling her shocking story of betrayed trust, abduction and the traumatic trial to make Forrest pay for his crimes"--Amazon.com.
