Boy from Nowhere

Edición de la obra The Boy From Nowhere

"After his sister has one 'accident' too many, Alex is taken into care aged four. His mum promises she will get him back, but Alex is adopted by a childless couple in Devon and renamed Franky. It should be a fresh start, but he soon discovers his new dad has a twisted idea of fatherhood. Abused and alone, Franky finally finds freedom – but at a price. And it doesn’t last long. The runaway is caught and sent to a series of foster homes, but no one can get through to him now. Ask where he’s from and he will always say ‘he’s the boy from nowhere.’ But deep down he’s still waiting for his mum to take him home. It seems inevitable that he’ll end up on the streets of London, slipping into a dangerous world, earning his living the only way he can. One day he might find a way out, but can he ever trust again?"--Publisher description.
