A deeply moving memoir from one of the last children to be taken in by the Foundling Hospital, London. It stands as a testament to the love that ultimately led a family back together. When she fell pregnant in London in 1938, Jean knew that she couldn't keep her baby. Scared and alone in a city on the brink of war, she begged the Foundling Hospital to give her baby a start in life. Subject to harsh discipline, an unvarying regime of exercise, drills and chores, there was no one to give him a hug or wipe away his tears. He was never told that his mother sent him presents for his birthday or that she desperately wanted him back. That was until he tracked down the woman who had given him away...and found home at last.
