Sunday Times bestseller by Casey Watson, the first heart-breaking memoir of an abuse survivor. When Justin's mother abandoned him and his two younger brothers at the tender age of just five, nothing could have prepared the Watson family for what was about to follow.
Just six years later, after numerous foster placements had failed, Justin had reached the end of the line – taken into the care of Casey and Mike, an award-winning foster carer couple with a specialised approach to individualising the behavioural modification of profoundly traumatised children.
But as the couple try desperately hard to foster acceptance, Justin is determined not to let his life become any easier or more comfortable than it already is, violently reacting towards classmates, family members and even friends. He throws back every emotional support.
As they work to understand his every reaction, they realise he's facing horrendous issues that date back to his childhood. To unravel the dark history of one deeply hurt man, Casey embarks on a journey of her own, revealing stunning details of Justin's early days with his drug-addicted mother, who once set alight the family home that ultimately became their shelter from the world.
