Description: This is a fast-paced, compelling account of a British born Muslim boy's painful upbringing in the north of England. As he grew up some of his experiences included racism, physical abuse, adultery in the family, suicide attempts, violence, rejection, crime and imprisonment. The abuse in the family also extended to his one real ally whom he loved deeply, his sister with severe learning difficulties. Having been completely cut off from his family for 29 years, he tells of his battle to cope with having a new addition to the family, a brother now in his twenties, whom he has never met. He also describes the brain-washing techniques, both physical and mental, used to indoctrinate him into the Islamic faith. His history even includes a shocking kidnapping attempt. His account of these harrowing, dark days is told with passion and frank honesty.
