Chris Wild lost his dad at age 11 and grew up in a children's care home. There, he witnessed the abuse of vulnerable children, and learnt the stories of all those who have been failed by the systems put in place to protect them. Later in life, after spending time on the streets, he began working at a care home himself. This is a heartbreaking memoir that relates his own story along with all the stories of the boys, girls, men, women who he has met to call for change in the care system.
