''This is a book that everyone must read. It''s funny, moving and of course it''s often sad. But mainly it''s a beautiful and fascinating and enlightening portrait of the care system, a world that is barely understood by many of us. It is also a proper page turner: the twists and turns and set-backs of his childhood are as gripping as they are shocking.
I genuinely couldn''t put it down. This story is more urgent and relevant now than ever.'' - XAND VAN TULLEKEN

-------
Ashley John-Baptiste grew up in the British care system, living with five different families, without ever being truly part of a family.
It wasn''t easy, or straightforward, and Ashley''s ever-changing living situation affected every single part of his life - from his education to his sense of identity to his friendships and his hobbiesAnd yet, throughout everything his childhood in care threw at him, Ashley remained resilient and found a way to take advantage of the opportunities that came his way.
Now Ashley feels able to tell us - vividly and movingly - how, when it felt like the world was turning its back on him, he refused to be an outsider in his own home and set about establishing a new and positive life for himself.
Looked After is a memoir written from the heart that pulls no punches but demonstrates that given encouragement and love - and, sometimes, a second chance - a care-experienced boy can become a successful broadcaster, a loving husband and a proud father.
