Synopsis: Following on from her previous bestselling books, Hackney Child and Tainted Love, which told the stories of kids in children's homes who fought against the odds in their struggle to survive, Jenny Molloy's' latest book What's Love Got to do With it? gives harrowing accounts of what happens when children fall in love with the wrong people, and how the role of social workers in their lives can bring them back to an understanding of what love really means. Molloy introduces several brave and inspirational children: Jemma, taken into care after her father tried to kill her; Angelika, abandoned by her mother, ending up in a criminal gang; Emma, whose life spiralled out of control after her mother's sudden death. Neglected explores these stories and more, ultimately aiming to answer the question: how can the circle of neglect be broken?
