Seeing Red by Coral Atkins

Coral Atkins, star of TV's "Family at War", was opening a fund-raising fete at a children's home when she found a little girl screaming incessantly and clawing the wall until her fingers bled. Two women gossiping nearby said she was best ignored. But Coral could not ignore the memory and so decided to give up her acting career and devote her life to disturbed children. With no qualifications, no experience, no money except her erratic salary, Coral Atkins achieved her aim. Relying only on her instinctive understanding of a child's anguish, she has provided a stable home for ten, then 15 more children. Told with honesty and with humour, this book is a story of determination, painful self-discovery and love.
