Description
A heart-wrenching true story of abandonment and survival, The Forgotten Child tells the remarkable tale of a baby boy left to die in 1954. Found by a postman on a freezing winter's night, the baby was rushed to hospital and miraculously survived. As he grew up in care, his early years seemed idyllic, but a turbulent start in life was only the beginning of his story. This inspirational memoir follows Richard's journey from his traumatic birth to his search for the truth about his past. With a harrowing account of his abusive childhood, The Forgotten Child is a powerful and emotional read that explores the complexities of family, care, and the human spirit. Based on a devastating true story, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the human experience and the power of resilience in the face of adversity.
