Description

The powerful and unflinching account of a childhood spent in the care system. In 1983, at just nine years old, Hope Daniels walked into Stoke Newington Police Station with her brothers, seeking a safer life. Her home was marked by poverty, neglect, and the devastating effects of her parents' addiction. As London emerged from a period of economic hardship, Hope's family struggled to cope, leaving her to rely on her inner strength for survival. Despite the challenges she faced, Hope never lost compassion for her parents. Her story is one of physical and emotional survival, and the lifeline given to her by the support of professionals working in the care system. This raw and absorbing account is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, and a powerful reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope for a better future. A gripping and thought-provoking read, Hackney Child is a story that needed to be told.
