The Forgotten Child: The powerful true story of a boy abandoned as a baby and left to die Binding:Paperback / softback B-format paperback In TranscendentBased on a true story, The Forgotten Child is a heart breaking memoir of an abandoned newborn baby left to die, his tempestuous upbringing, and how he came through the other side. Its a freezing winters night in 1954. A baby boy, a few hours old, is left by his mother, wrapped in nothing but two sheets of newspaper and hidden amongst the undergrowth by a canal bank. An hour later, a late shift postman is walking wearily home when he hears a faint cry.
