About this product

Product Information

Sequel to the UK No 1 Bestselling JUST A BOY. Richard McCann's account of his childhood became a massive UK bestseller. In it he told the harrowing story of how he and his sisters were left motherless when the Yorkshire Ripper killed his first victim, Richard's mother Wilma McCann. JUST A BOY was praised for its unlflinching and unself-pitying account of a neglected childhood at the hands of an abusive father and uncaring authorities. The only constants in his and his sister's lives were grief for their mother and newspaper coverage of her killer and the grusome nature of his crimes.THE BOY GROWS UP is an account of how Richard used the success of JUST A BOY to try and save his sister, to recover from the past and to learn more about the effects of traumatic childhood's and loss - in order to help others who are suffering.With his book in the bestseller charts Richard sets out to make sense of his past, attempting to meet the other children of Sutcliffe's victims and discovering the secrets of the mother that was taken away from him. He is invited to help set up a support group for grieving familes and through this is privy to their stories of heartbreaking pain and incredible strength. He decides to go to university and study Social Policy, hoping to gain insights into the wider causes of much of the suffering he has encountered. In short, Richard McCann comes to terms with the loss of his own childhood by talking to others, hearing their stories and learning about how to accept has happened and move on.

  • A truly great read and for the fraction of the cost of buying new

    I had the pleasure of hearing Richard speak when he visited the school I work at. His whole story was heart wrenching but superbly put and I decided to find out more about this inspirational man and his family. On buying his first book, Just a Boy, I wasn't disappointed and realised that during his talk he had only scratched the surface. Once I had finished reading Just a Boy, I bought The Boy Grows Up to find out what had happened to Richard in later years. I can't recommend both books highly enough.
