Tom is hyperactive, with severe behavioural issues.  In infancy, he screams all night.  As a toddler he is destructive and fearless.   At school, he is disruptive and lacking in concentration.  As he grows, so does the havoc, reaching a crescendo in his teenage years.

In her quest for support, Sarah consults every specialist available to her, to be met with blame and indifference.  This memoir, which tells the story of a mother and son ostracised, challenges the ‘I blame the parents’ view.  It is a ‘must-read’ for any parent who struggles and feels alone.
