One October night in 1975, Richard, aged five, was alone at home with his three sisters. It was 3 a.m., and their mother had not yet returned. The next day, the police came to take the children. Their mother had become the first victim of a serial killer known as the 'Yorkshire Ripper'. Shuffled from one abusive home to another, the children were forgotten by everyone except the media. As sensational headlines multiplied, Richard and his sisters could never recover from their mother's murder. While Richard struggled to cope with the horror of his violent upbringing, his sister wrestled with memories of sexual abuse. Without love or support, they descended into despair, far from help and happiness. Then, one day, Richard McCann, hitting rock bottom, decided that no one was going to save their lives but him. It was the beginning of an inspiring transformation. Now he can tell the story of how children forgotten by violence suffer and how they can heal. An evolving, gripping story of survival and hope.
