Born Without A Silver Spoon...


Book Description

John was a curious and scared child who, due to circumstances, was forced to grow up at a very young age. He grew up a loner and although was a bright and very intelligent child he did not have the upbringing that we all hope for our children. He was placed in instituations from a very young age and through out his whole life has had to deal with things we wish no-one has too. After hearing his fascinating story I decided, with his agreement, that it should be told to the world. Although it can not change the past, it might make people aware of what is happening in the world to try and stop it happening again.... to other scared vunerable children. This story is a true life story and the events have happened. I have, although, altered names and places for the protection of those involved. I hope you find his story as interesting and fascinating as I have.

The Lioness Awakens is an illustrated work of short poems with a bite.
