About this listen

Writing this memoir has to be one of the hardest things I have ever achieved. Out of respect for the dead, this story has been told exactly how it happened.

I was born in 1985 in Lancashire, England, to two alcoholic parents. Having selfish parents left me exposed to abuse, poverty, and crime. My loving grandparents helped me the best they could at the weekends, but life was barely survivable.

Spending most of my life on a rough estate, bad influence pulled me between good and evil. Falling in love during a life of hell, my heart filled like a balloon that carried me to a greater good.

What you will listen to is no sweet lullaby. It will repulse and shock you. I fought with every ounce of strength to survive, with betrayal and evil around every corner.

What an amazing story

Thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book. It was so interesting and sad. Josh went through a lot and it was eye opening to hear what he had to endure. I felt sad that he had such an awful childhood. Overall good listen.

Please tell Vunerable to read this

It goes to show how broken our system is, for a lad to be missed by so many, professional bodies.. But to see he is now turning his life around is a blessing.

A poignant reminder of the unspoken stories of many.

What a brilliantly honest and vulnerable biography of a story that is hard to stop listening to. I was sad when it ended, and have found myself wondering how things ended up. I do hope Joseph is happy now and living a life filled with love, as he always deserved.
Of course, we will have to wait for part 2 to find out. I’ll definitely be looking out for it.
Thank you for sharing your story with us all.

Sad

I absolutely loved listening to this book. I love a good autobiography and this one didn’t disappoint. I’m glad I found this little gem. Well written and well read.
