An autobiography, "Against all odds" by Paul Connolly
The author grew up in a childrens home in East London. He was one of 8 children sharing a dorm and suffered years of abuse from the staff. When he was 35, the police called and told him 6 of the 8 were dead. This is a very harrowing and uplifting story, telling of the years of abuse and how he overcame it.
