The memoir delves into Lemn Sissay's life story, starting with his discovery at the age of seventeen that his birth name was not Norman but Lemn Sissay. Born in Britain to Ethiopian heritage, he reflects on his experiences in foster families and care homes, revealing a narrative of neglect, determination, misfortune, hope, cruelty, and triumph. The memoir explores themes such as the institutional care system, race, family, and the concept of home. With the lyrical and powerful prose characteristic of Sissay's work, the memoir is a poignant reflection on self-expression and identity.
