Synopsis: Story of Kirstyn Austin's struggle from young girl living on the NSW Central Coast to her status as the victim of notorious career criminal Fred Many and his manipulation of the NSW and Federal Legal system, of the struggle to get through to the politicians as they give freedom to Fred Many while she moved overseas and lived in fear of his retribution while her was supposedly under police supervision, and her final determination to get on with her life as she moved out of witness protection. The legal system repeatedly rewarded a man who proved just as frequently his unworthiness for the trust afforded to him. Many enjoyed reduced sentences in his assault, kidnapping, child rape and murder charges and acceptance of bizarre exculpatory reasons for those charges to be reduced in exchange for dubious informer activity that there was some unknown drive to recognise above the child assault issues and Many's criminal career. Every young woman should read this book as proof that regardless of the sense of safety that feminist politics might bestow on life for young women there remains the need to take precautions in life. Every parent should read this as hazard reduction.
