Amelia's Story: A Childhood Lost by D.G. Torrens

2.0

In the hands of a much better writer, this would have been an incredible story. Amelia ends up in the UK care system, separated from her siblings, and moved again and again to places utterly grim and desperate. With even her highly substandard schools on the premises she lives at, she never gets to leave except by running away. Her goal is to make it out of the system and on to a life of her own, but even when that happens her troubles are not over. Unfortunately this story was put in the hands of an unskilled writer and even less skilled editor. It was hard to get through, but not because of the content (which I was expecting) but because of the writing.
