    About this audiobook

    The best-selling book on a young man's traumatic childhood in foster care. In 1990, at the age of ten, Daryl Brougham was told by a social worker he was useless and would end up in jail. By 1997, he had attended 27 schools, been through over 30 social workers and lived in more than 30 different foster homes. During his 18 years as a state ward he suffered repeated sexual, physical, emotional and psychological abuse. Rising above all the abuse, Daryl proved that social worker wrong. A quality New Zealand book.

      Great book sad story. Unbelievable how he was treated. My heart broke for him. He is a wonderful person and really shows we all have choices we all have circumstances but it’s really how we react that makes a difference. He is a better man than I would have been. So happy he has a good life now. Shame to all that abused him and shame on the system that failed him.

      Great read/ listen, with difficult raw content that often had me in tears . These poor children made me both mad and sad how they were treated. Darryl hold your head up high you are an amazing human being!!!
