About this listen

Raised by Committee is a moving coming-of-age story set in the midst of the sexual revolution of the 1960s. Written by acclaimed author Carollyne Haynes, this captivating tale follows Gail, a young girl who was placed in the care of the Devon County Council Children's Committee after suffering abuse and abandonment.

Set in the picturesque countryside of Devon, England, we witness Gail's journey as she navigates through the challenges of adolescence. From despair to hope, she overcomes her past traumas and emerges as a strong and resilient young woman.

Despite the odds stacked against her, Gail defies expectations and excels as a top student. But as she begins to find her footing in the world, she is faced with tough decisions and temptations that threaten to derail her progress.

Through it all, the Children's Committee remains a constant source of support and guidance for Gail. Their unwavering care and dedication help her navigate through the complexities of growing up and finding her place in the world.

With vivid storytelling and heartfelt emotion, Raised by Committee is a must-listen for anyone seeking a powerful and inspiring story of resilience and triumph. Don't miss out on this gripping tale of a young woman's journey from life as a ward of the courts to a strong and independent individual ready to take on the world.
