When Barbara Marston was six months old she was put into a Home; She was seventeen before she saw her mother again. In the years between she was seldom out of trouble. From a school for maladjusted children she went to a mental hospital and from there to hostels in London, to approved schools, and to prison. At sixteen she was on the streets of Soho. It is a book that will shock many. It does not set out to condemn the system which tried to help her and failed, nor does it suggest she was the typical victim of a broken home. It simply tells the story of a girl whose resentment against her parents drove her against society, and how, at seventeen, she faced the task of building a new and different life.
