It's a freezing winter's night in 1954. A baby boy, a few hours old, is left by his mother, wrapped in nothing but two sheets of newspaper and hidden amongst the undergrowth by a canal bank. He finds the newspaper parcel and discovers the newborn, white-cold and whimpering, inside.

About this product

Product Information

Based on a true story, The Forgotten Child is a heart-breaking memoir of an abandoned newborn baby left to die, his tempestuous upbringing, and how he came through the other side. It's a freezing winter's night in 1954. A baby boy, a few hours old, is left by his mother, wrapped in nothing but two sheets of newspaper and hidden amongst the undergrowth by a canal bank. An hour later, a late-shift postman is walking wearily home when he hears a faint cry. He finds the newspaper parcel and discovers the newborn, white-cold and whimpering, inside. After being rushed to hospital and against all odds, the baby survives. He's baptised by the hospital chaplain as Richard. Everything feels as though it's looking up; Richard is put into local authority care and regains his health. However, after nearly five blissful years in a rural care home filled with loving friends, it soon unfolds that his turbulent start in life is only the beginning... Based on a devastating true story, this inspirational memoir follows Richard's traumatic birth, abusive childhood, and search for the truth.

    The forgotten child

    I have read lots of non fiction books but this is by far the best 10/10 - very well written and although a very sad story it has a lovely ending and well done for escaping your step father’ evil torture.

    A riveting read - oh yes.

    An absolute first class read if somewhat very sad in parts. Any Crossroads fans out there - well there's a section you'll love 'say no more'.

    Brilliant book.

    I just couldn't put the book down. The boy Richard went through a lot in his younger years. It was a very sad true story, but he fought through.
