Kevin Lewis grew up on a council estate in South London. Beaten and starved by his parents, ignored by the social services and bullied at school, he was finally offered a chance to escape this nightmare world by being put into care.
Despite all his best efforts to make things work out, his life spiralled out of control. At the age of seventeen, unable to make a legitimate living, he became caught up in the criminal underworld of London, where he was known as "The Kid".
A truly remarkable tale of one man's struggles against the adversities that life constantly threw at him, from the abuse he suffered at the hands of his violent mother and alcoholic father, to the continuous torments at school; from the way in which he coped with rejection from people he trusted, to suffering from bulimia and wishing to take his own life. Through sheer courage and determination Kevin succeeded in making a better life for himself.
This is his story . . .
