Description
by Ian Hughes (Author)
Storm Child" by Ian Hughes is a raw, unflinching memoir chronicling a childhood marked by trauma, resilience, and the search for redemption. Born during Scotland's fiercest storm of the century in 1968, Hughes' life begins amid chaos, setting the stage for a journey through neglect, violence, and instability. From near-drownings at his mother's hands to witnessing a murder in a park, his early years are a battleground of survival. Moving frequently across Glasgow and beyond, he navigates abusive parents, foster care, and the harsh realities of the 1970s Ice Cream Wars. Yet, amidst the darkness, moments of solace-his grandfather's garden, a kind greenhouse owner-offer glimmers of hope. As an adult, Hughes confronts complex PTSD and emotional instability, finding strength in love, family, and a career in social care. This memoir weaves humor, grit, and poetic reflection, addressing themes of abuse, addiction, and mental health while celebrating the human spirit's capacity to heal. Ideal for readers seeking inspiration, "Storm Child" is a testament to enduring the storm and emerging into the light.
