So begins Paulines spirited and moving story of her childhood and teenage years in and out of foster homes and back and forth to Dr. Barnardos Village in Essex. Her Barnardos family was ruled by an unlikely trioAunty Claire, a fervent Christian; her laconic husband, the German Jewish Uncle Boris; and Aunty Morag, the cook. And, of course, other kids orphaned or abandoned like Pauline. Woven into this account are Paulines angel and spirit companionsSparky, Annabel and Snake who by turns help and hinder her to survive in the real world. The Barnardos good times are shattered by the sudden visits of her mother, whom she calls Wunmi and with whom she goes to live in a London high-rise.
