'The Latchkey Kid' is a moving and powerful memoir of early childhood and adolescent struggles, with an unusual twist. Growing up on a Manchester council estate was tough in the 1970s. And when your mother is a cold woman with little time or care for you, beats you regularly and forgets to feed you, it's little wonder you find yourself on the wrong path in life. But unlike other stories of unfortunate circumstances, this frank and at times heart-breaking account also depicts the author's journey of living with a relatively unknown mental health condition called 'anhedonia'.
