A Boy Called Graham by Graham Gaskin
Graham Gaskin's story is the kind of story that will touch the reader deeply. It is a story of suffering, neglect and abuse on many levels. When Graham was only nine months old, his mother committed suicide by throwing herself from the Wallasey ferry. This formative loss triggered the start of a lifetime of pain for Graham, both boy and man. For most of his life he was passed from children's home, to foster family, to institution, often being mistreated by those in authority. As he came of age, Graham had nowhere to turn but to a life on the streets, eventually living by his wits around the world. This is the controversial story of a forgotten child who, through no fault of his own, was left to fight his own battles.
Graham Gaskin has spent most of his life on the run: either from the hands of abusers or from the authorities. He was given a life sentence when found guilty of the murder of a British man in Manila. He finished writing his autobiography while in prison, knowing that he was about to die of AIDS.
