About this product

Product Information

The paperback of The Sunday Times bestseller which spent seven weeks at No 5 - a heartbreaking but inspirational story of a childhood destroyed One October night in 1975 Richard, aged five, was alone in the house with his three sisters. It was 3am and their mother hadn't come home yet. Next morning, the police arrived to take the children away. Their mother had become the first victim of a serial killer soon to become known as the 'Yorkshire Ripper'. Passed from one violent home to another, the children were forgotten by all except the press. As the salacious headlines multiplied, Richard and his sisters were never able to recover from their mother's murder. Whilst Richard tried to handle the terror of his violent upbringing, his sister struggled to deal with memories of sexual abuse. Without love or support they spiralled away from help or happiness. Then one day Richard McCann, having reached suicidal rock bottom, decided no one was going to rescue their lives but him. It was the beginning of an inspirational transformation. Now he is able to tell the story of how the forgotten children of violence suffer, and how they can heal. A heartbreaking, uplifting story of survival and hope.

Took a bit longer to arrive than date stated but there was a bank holiday in that period to be fair. Apart from that it was a great price and the book was shipped in a nice sturdy cardboard envelope which is how it should be so I have no hesitation in recommending Monster Bookshop. A+++

    Inspiring Author

    Assumed this would be a misery-memoir, however, McCann writes with factual candour. I picked the book up - it was bought by my husband - because McCann is an unusual person. He survived much abuse but is now a very successful motivational speaker, and is an example of how a person can turn their life around by will alone. This is a good, human interest story.
