Placed in care at an early age, Paolo Hewitt vividly describes his early life spent with an abusive foster family before he is moved to Burbank children's home aged 10. There he meets a gang of inspiring children who are outsiders just like him, and together they struggle to create a life for themselves.
Hewitt's classic memoir of a childhood in care is published alongside his new title "But We All Shine On" - a moving account of the strength and resilience of children.
