''Beautiful, deep, transfixing . . . it will burn a home in your heart'' LEMN SISSAY
''Essential reading, life-changing'' SAMANTHA MORTON
''An astonishing piece of work'' NIALL GRIFFITHS


The government told a story about me before I was born.

Jenni Fagan was property of the state before birth. She drew her first breath in care and by the age of seven, she had lived in fourteen different homes and had her name changed multiple times.
Twenty years after her first attempt to write this powerful memoir, Jenni is finally ready to share her account. Ootlin is a journey through the broken UK care system - it is one of displacement and exclusion, but also of the power of storytelling. It is about the very human act of making meaning from adversity.
