rmelly - there is a HUGE market in 'mis-lit' - and the authors are often not famous at all, but its the story of their lives and the awful situations they overcame.

Agree. These types of books seem to be particularly popular at the moment. The OP mentioned abuse - don't mean to be flippant or anything but there is definitely a market for reading about these experiences.

Okay, I guess that's the section of the bookshop that I avoid, like the plague. Sounds like it's just me though.

"The Writers & Artists Yearbook" 2009 may be helpful to you. You should probably find it in your local library (the 2008 edition anyway!)
 
Best of luck. I was going to say that escapist literature was more popular now but I hadn't read the part dealing with your subject matter.
