Ryan Reeves wasn't always so cunning and cold, he had a heart; a family...so what changed him?? This book describes Ryan's life before going into care and long before he reaches the security of Ashdene Ridge. It aims to capture Ryan's struggles as he adapts to multiple foster homes, and care home placements. This is my adaptation of The Dumping Ground's character Ryan Reeves and his childhood following my first book 'A Storm in Mind'.
