Childhood memories
I read this book with interest after having been a child in the same children's home as the Author, St Margarets in the late 70's early 80's. The descriptions took me straight back to that time and while I was fortunate enough not to have to gone through the pain and suffering that the author did , it shows me that the human spirit can carry on despite the evil works of an individual who's selfish acts caused so much pain. I recommend this book on the basis that while it has a personal perspective for me it is one of fear, despair, hope, and renewal.
