Richard McCann was just five when his mother became the first victim of Peter Sutcliffe, the man who came to be known as the 'Yorkshire Ripper'. He and his three sisters, forced to return to their estranged father, were never allowed to heal or forget, their grief caught up in the media circus of a serial killer. Yet Richard and his eldest sister Sonia were forced to endure violent abuse and keep the silence of forgotten children. This is the moving and inspirational story of how two small children stuck together through unimaginable pain and just when they hit rock-bottom, on the road to ruining their own lives forever, decided to make a change.
