Will Mummy Be Coming Back for Me?

The harrowing true story of one child's battle to escape his shattered past . . .

When Jason is first taken into care, he is a tiny frightened five-year-old. In time, childcare worker Shane Dunphy gets Jason to come out of himself. He learns to laugh, to share, to play games. To be a little boy.

A decade later Shane is astounded to meet Jason again. The older Jason is just as frightened and angry as the little boy he used to be, but now he is violent and dangerous as well.

Again, Shane and his colleagues try to bring out the goodness they believe is buried somewhere deep inside. But can Jason face up to the terrible price he has paid for the torment his parents put him through as an innocent child?

In over fifteen years as a child protection worker, Shane Dunphy saw children at their most despiaring and their most resilient. Shane is now a respected commentator on child protection issues. His previous bestelling titles are Wednesday's Child, Crying in the Dark, Hush, Little Babyand The Boy in the Cupboard
