The Family I Never Had

Prologue

This is my first book I have written so I hope you all enjoy.

For the first years of my life all I can remember is the harsh beatings I would get from the orphanage staff. We never got told their names, to us they were Sir and Mam. We daren't ever ask them their names as we would get a beating. They say it's rude and unladylike, I'm not sure what it means but it can't be good. I just hope one day I can go in search for the rest of my family, I don't remember my mother or father I was too young when put in this prison to remember anything of the outside world, for the past 6 years I have never seen past the grimey old walls. We get told it's not for us to see, it's not safe for children like us, apparently the outside world doesn't except people like us,you see, we're different.
