Fifty-one Moves by Ben Ashcroft
A 'Going Straight' genre life story which breaks new ground in taking as its focus the vagaries of the child care system and in doing so is re-assuring for professionals and young people in care alike.
`A powerful book that gives a hard-hitting account of the care system.. and is vital reading for anyone wishing to learn about the true effects of multiple placement moves and the resilience it takes to "never, ever give up"'- Guardian; 'Perhaps this inspirational memoir will encourage psychologists and social workers to spend more time listening to children and finding ways to build on their strengths and interests'- The Psychologist; The book was described as inspirational, powerful, emotional, compelling and required reading for anyone interested in the care system when released on Kindle, e.g. 'An inspiring and moving account of the trauma and distress caused to a young boy by his family and our care system': Sarah 'How do you fix pieces that have been utterly shattered - as a parent, ex-care man and professional psychologist I wish I knew - I guess the resolution to do so has to be out there': Dr Peter MacParlin. 'A very raw book - but this only adds to the sense of passion and honesty with which it is written': Fiona Sorsby, Bingley, West Yorkshire. 'This motivational read is such a hard hitting tale - it's heartfelt and gives such a clear first-hand account of life living in a care home - A brilliant worthwhile read about a man who truly turned his life around': Stacey Spencer.
