Description
For the first time, the true story of John Lennon's childhood is revealed in this poignant and raw memoir. Julia Baird shares the full extent of the pain and difficulties she faced growing up with her brother, as well as the happier times, to cast a new light on John's upbringing.
Julia sheds new light on the cruelty of the decision to remove John from his mother at the age of 5, and the impact this had on both mother and son. She also reveals the love and support John received from his sisters, which allowed him to develop his musical talents.
This beautifully written memoir also explores how John's family dealt with the tragedy of their mother's death, and the emotional fragility and musical genius that resulted. A powerful and moving story that sheds new light on the life of one of music's most iconic figures.
