Description
Thrown Away Child is a heart-wrenching memoir that tells the story of Louise Allen's traumatic childhood in a foster home, and her journey to survival and redemption.
Through her love of art, Louise found solace and a sense of purpose, which ultimately led her to become a foster carer herself, campaigning for improvements in the care system.
This powerful and inspiring book gives a voice to the many children who have grown up unhappily in care, and offers a hopeful message of resilience and the possibility of healing and transformation.
