About this listen

Mikey's family were Gypsies. They live in a closed community and little is known about their way of life. As he didn't go to school, the caravan became his world. But although Mikey inherited a vibrant culture, his family had a dark hidden history. Eventually Mikey was forced to make a decision – to stay and keep secrets, or escape and find somewhere to belong.

This book made me angry, cry, shout and turned my stomach but what a great story, not to be forgotten that it's real. Loved the fact the author narrates as well. Would recommend.

A marvellous listen. It gives a real insight into the gypsy life, both the good and the not so good. It is a very moving book

NEVER have I been so captivated by an audio book - his story is so shocking, sad, happy, funny and humbling. His narration is so effortlessly told you're living his every moment with him. I have NEVER been prouder of a total stranger in my life and would be an honour and a privilege to meet this man. Enthralling insight into a shut, clandestine world with both shockingly sad and tremendously happy moments. An absolute MUST read/listen.

A riveting but harrowing tale. I had tears in my eyes as I listened to Mikey's story of his life. The bullying and beatings that were dished out left me horrified and in shock.
It is amazing that each day he managed to survive and carry on and that nobody in their community had guts enough to put and end to this evil punishment.
All cudos goes to Mikey for surving this the way that he has and for writing and reading to us his story.

Chilling insight into a terribly abused boy’s childhood. This book made me laugh then cry. Brilliantly read by the author - compelling and desperately sad in parts but giving a true and unexpected insight into gypsy life. I was horrified and saddened at Mikey’s treatment and felt so glad he eventually found himself and happiness.

Funny and heart breaking
