A HARROWING TRUE STORY
This is a powerful and harrowing true story, of one young girl's struggle to survive the state-care-system in the 70s and 80s. Amelia has just one wish, to make it through to adulthood and hold her destiny in her own hands. This is a story of survival. Stripped of her childhood, and tragically torn from her siblings, Amelia faces years of agonising anguish, never knowing when,or if, she'll see them again.
Moved from one oppressive children's home to another, until finally, the weight of her suffering grows unbearable, Amelia's thoughts drift to the ultimate escape - the peace and finality of her own death.
This is not just a story of survival; it is an unyielding testament to the strength of the human spirit and a heart-wrenching journey through despair, resilience, and hope against impossible odds.
