learning and helping us to journey together to change our world for sustainable
shared futures”. Ruth Stark, former President, International Federation of

book, that we must move further towards thinking about the development of

"This is a brilliant evocation of a turbulent childhood, which I read at one sitting interrupted only by a night's sleep. It should be required reading for everyone whose life impinges on that of a neglected child and deserves a much wider audience. The author has woven together from records kept on him and his own memory, a fascinating account of his roots and how he came to be what he is." Sir Ronald Waterhouse GBE
"an important and uplifting book ... the uplifting story of a man with an indomitable spirit" Malcolm Dean, Assistant Editor - The Guardian
"streets ahead of its genre" Graham Hopkins, Community Care Magazine

“heart-rending moments… a dispassionately told but piercingly emotional
story.” Times Educational Supplement “His memoir of growing up in the care of children's charity Barnardo's, and
tracing the parents he never knew, gripped me with sadness and curiosity.... At
times, you want to rage at the sheer injustice and callousness of Frampton's
care world.” The Guardian "‘unputdownable’... heartbreaking...but ultimately inspiring and often very
funny... This book strikes a huge blow for freedom for children everywhere…a
beautiful writer." Jilly Cooper, Author “ a gripping and very moving story, told with a wonderful skill…with a
vivid memory for every incident and character, with all the dialogue and
poignant detail...I eagerly await more volumes from the Frampton pen.”
Michael Crick, Author and Broadcaster
