A phenomenal memoir. I am in awe. It takes exceptional strength to survive the events described in this book and courage, skill and magic to write a life story, especially when this type of story is often marginalised -- Amy Liptrot A clear-eyed, unsentimental account of the author's childhood being shuffled between foster homes. Her resilience is remarkable. It's a book that really made me want to reach through the pages and help -- Douglas Stuart An astonishing piece of work. I tore through it, and it through me. I will never, ever forget it -- Niall Griffiths Ootlin is a 21st century classic from one of our most exceptional writers -- Adelle Stripe Heartbreaking, magnificent, and incredibly important . . . [Jenni Fagan] is one of the best -- Ever Dundas
