I have the priveledge of knowing the author and this book epitimises what a truly amazing person. I would highly recommend this book as an insight into the real world of children and thank god for people like the author who are there to pick up the pieces.

I bought the Kindle edition first and I've just got the paperback as I think my mum will love this. A moving and inspiring true story which made me late for work as I couldn't put it down :)

Thankyou for letting me into your family because reading this made me feel I was a part of your family! I loved every minute of it. The insight, the complex situations, the characters and your way with words have been a joy to read. A real pleasure. My own emotions were turned upside down just reading it, very difficult to put down.
