Stacey Danson
Stacey Danson was prostituted by her mother at the age of three, lost her virginity at the age of 5, 'serviced' a group of men including her family doctor, was subjeced to outrageous S&M rituals by 10, and then hit the streets at the age of eleven.
Of the gang of fifteen street children she was invited to join (because one of them had just died), only two are alive today.
'Empty Chairs' was written because Stacey promised a friend called Jenny that she would. Jenny has since committed suicide in her turn.
It is Stacey's deepest regret that her friends from the street gang are no longer alive to read her chronicle of their lives.
Stacey's story is not a happy one but, boy, can she write it .....
Stacey writes about child abuse as Primo Levi wrote about the Holocaust.
.... and the sequel is now out too - 'Faint Echoes of Laughter'.

Stacey Danson, lived through and beyond horrific child abuse.
This book tells of her brutal beginnings, the streets of Sydney at the age of eleven were preferable to the hell she endured at home. She ran, and those streets became her home for five years.
She was alone, ill, and afraid.
Stacey also had an unshakeable belief that she would do more than just survive her life.
She would not allow her future to be determined by the horrors of her childhood.
She reached out for something different; there had to be more to life; if she could only find it.
She had a dream of a life where pain and humiliation had no place.
She was determined to find that life.
Empty Chairs is the beginning of the journey.
Now she is living the dream.
