THE SEQUEL TO THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER, 1963: A SLICE OF BREAD
AND JAM Placing a child in care doesn't mean caring for a child.
When little Tommy Rhattigan was taken into care in 1963 aged just
7, he entered a closed off world of institutionalised sexual abuse.
Moved between a care home in Manchester and a reform school in
Liverpool, the state was supposed to pick up the duty of care that
his parents had failed to give him. But instead, separated from his
siblings, young Tommy was thrown to the wolves. Tommy Rhattigan
takes us, in his own inimitable way, back to his own childhood of
pranks, cruelty and laughter, grown from a need to survive his
daily torment and to stick two fingers up to the system that was
failing him so spectacularly. Reader can't get enough of Boy Number
26: 'A heart-wrenching story' 'This is a good book that definitely
needs to be read by anyone who cares about children or mental
health' 'Rhattigan is honest and brutal in his writing' (Real
reader reviews taken from NetGalley.co.uk)
