Completely off subject but can I recommend
A Brothers Journey- Richard B Pelzer
It carries on from what happened in the home after David was taken away.
And sorry, am not giving up my copies for no one!I ve already read them both twice since Xmas, but both are £7.99 from Waterstones if you are willing to buy them.
