About this item
by Ernest Maine (Author)
A Child Called Home begins the multivolume true story of a boy who learns to navigate the world where safety is never guaranteed and love is never promised.
In this first volume, Ryan pulls readers deep into his early years, marked by abandonment, instability, and a constant fight to understand where he belonged. When Ryan is placed in state care, childhood stops being a time of innocence and becomes a battlefield for survival. He learns to adapt, to shrink, to disappear, and eventually, to fight back.
This is not only a true story of trauma, but it is also the story of identity in the making. Through loneliness, confusion, and an unspoken longing for family, young Ryan develops resilience and self-reliance that later shapes the man he will become. Page by page, he reveals the unseen reality of children who grow up in the system while offering a voice to the millions who feel forgotten.
Volume 1 sets our foundation for a life marked by both wounds and strength, opening a doorway to where healing, adulthood, and self-discovery will unfold. Raw, honest, and deeply human, A Child Called Home is the beginning of a journey toward understanding what home truly means.
