The 30 entries by children and young people ranging in age from 9 to 24 years old reflect on a range of feelings about leaving the familiarity of family and home, starting afresh, dealing with changes, being 'lost and found', feeling loved, and what being in care has meant for them. The life experiences of these children and young people can be hard for them to recall, make sense of and express and for many writing is an effective and therapeutic way of expressing challenging emotions and experiences.
