The title says it all.
This book contains some heartbreaking tales of a broken care system and the effects on the children placed within it. Although I went through a real mix of emotions reading it as there is humour and happiness and that real survival spirit too!. I think tales like this need to be told and people made aware of that goes on in systems we never experience. By coming forth and sharing such moving memories/tales can only then a difference be made to help protect the future children who find themselves in similar circumstances. A real eye opening read.

Damaged was such a heartbreaking read about children suffering from abuse in care homes, homes that are meant to keep children safe, it's such an inspiring read.

A thought provoking read about kids on the street and kids in care. The main story is about Chris and his life growing up after losing his dad. He spirals out of control and meets people from different back grounds along the way. I loved how the book told us the tragic lives of the people he meets. Really enjoy this book and thought is was very well written. It pulled on the heart strings and all though if I wanted to change so much for him.
