About the Author: Danny McFaul
I was born in the town of Larne in Northern Ireland. I have written several other books all about my home town or my family history. This is my first attempt at a fiction story. The story is about someone who was born in a Workhouse. The idea came after I had learned that a few of my Victorian ancestors had to take refuge in the Workhouse as lots of working class families had to in those days when the country was made up of The rich and The Poor.
The book is about a man who was born in a Workhouse. His mother died soon after he was born. He remained in the care of the Workhouse authorities for a few years before he was found a foster home. But he went through the rest of his life haunted by the shame and guilt that he felt came with being born in a workhouse. He believed that HE should have been the one to die and NOT his mother.
