At six weeks I was chucked out into
the new year of 1965 which wasn't prepared to welcome an African
baby, abandoned on a harsh English winter's day.
So begins Pauline's spirited and moving
story of her childhood and teenage years in and out of foster
homes and detention units in England. Both realistic and magical,
Borrowed Body is a celebration of a child's will to
survive. It is the first novel by Valerie Mason-John,
who lives in London, England.
