About this listen

 FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR

Thrown Away Child is a memoir covering Louise Allen’s abusive childhood in a foster home, how she survived - using her love of art as a sanctuary - and how she hopes to right old wrongs now by fostering children herself and campaigning for the improvement of foster care services. It is a compelling and inspirational story. This book gives a voice to the many children who grew up unhappily in care.©2017 Louise Allen (P)2018 Simon & Schuster Audio Activists Politics & Activism Fostering

I think what frustrates me most ideas that children see things from a perspective that is fed to them by monsters, who know what they are doing but continue to do what they do

Heartbreaking
