Abused by his father and torn away from his mother to live his life in an approved school for young offenders. This story tells the true story of John Fenton and his courage.
From an early age John and his family were abused by his coward of a father. This was up until the age of thirteen when his father went to far and John had to stand up for his grandma. From that day onwards John's life was turned upside down as he was sent St Vincents Approved School where him and many other teenage boys faced further physical and sexual abuse from the Catholic Brothers and other boys. Also during these hard times he built strong friendships with best friend Bernie who was another boy who had to face the abuse and the Father of the church, Father Denaney, who shared with him a passion of reading.
Throughout these years, John adapted to the school and learned to look out for himself and his friends within these conditions and because of his strong courage he manage to make a great difference.
A must read, this story will capture your emotions and I can guarantee you will wouldn't want to put this down. I would rate the 4 stars.
