Richard McCann Books
In 2005, Richard published his first book Just A Boy: The True Story Of A Stolen Childhood, a heart-breaking but also uplifting story of survival and hope. The book tells of Richard’s childhood, with his two sisters, from one violent home to another, forgotten by all except the media. Without love or support they spiralled away from help or happiness. The book shares how Richard realised no one was going to rescue their lives but him and charts his inspirational transformation. The book tells how the forgotten children of violence suffer, and how they can heal. A heart-breaking, uplifting story of survival and hope.
Following the success of Just A Boy, Richard published his second book The Boy Grows Up: The inspirational story of his journey from broken boy to family man in 2007. This is an account of how Richard used the success of Just A Boy to try and help his sister, and his attempts to make sense of his past while at the same time learning more about the impact of trauma and loss in childhood. He becomes a voluntary counsellor and visits prisons, coming to terms with his traumatic childhood by talking to others and learning about how to accept the past and move on.
The third in the trilogy Just a Man chronicles Richard’s journey, as he is tested repeatedly, until he realises that the spirits of our loved ones are always around us, something he had thought since he lost his mum when he was five years old.
