The true story of a Black Country family torn apart in the 1960s, when three young brothers living their lives in the midst of filth, squalor, neglect and deprivation are suddenly separated forever. One brother will begin a search that will span four decades and uncover dark secrets, unbelievable discoveries and much more than he anticipated.
This is a recollection of childhood memories and one man's remarkable journey that takes him through the care system, foster parents, children's homes and numerous relatives - a child rejected, longing for love, acceptance and belonging.
Join the author on a path of discovery through family conflict, lies and deception to a family reunited when it seemed lost forever. Through determination, inspiration and courage never to give up in the face of adversity, above all else, this is about a little boy's dream to find his brother.
