About this listen

The brave and moving memoir about how the simple unconditional love of Maxwell, Nicky Campbell's Labrador, helped him come to terms with his difficult childhood - as read by the author.

'Remarkable . . . contains a lesson for all of us and delivers a resounding message of hope and of love'
JAMES O'BRIEN

Raw, honest and courageous in One of the Family, Nicky opens up about how being adopted has made him always feel like an outsider; the guilt he has carried towards his Mum and Dad for needing to trace his birth mother, and the crushing disappointment he felt when he finally met her. And for the first time, he writes about his emotional breakdown and how he has learned to live with a late diagnosis of bipolar.

Through it all his passion for dogs and animals has been a lifeline. It is Maxwell's magic, a lesson from a Labrador in simple unconditional friendship, that has allowed him to see all the good in his life: from the security and safety of his childhood home, the love of his wife and four daughters and above all, to better understand the decisions taken by his birth mother to give him up for adoption.
