The power of BBC journalist and presenter Ashley John-Baptiste's book lies not only in sharing the harshness of his experience, but also in showcasing his extraordinary resilience in the darkest of times. Looked After tells the story of the UK's care provision from the inside in a visceral way - and acknowledges the importance of the key people who helped him turn his life around.

This is a memoir written from the heart that pulls no punches. Looked After demonstrates that given opportunity and encouragement - and love - a cared-for boy can become a successful man, a loving husband, a proud father - despite the trauma of his childhood.
