Award-winning investigative journalist Chris Rogers, smuggled himself into state-run orphanages in Romania and found proof that the appalling treatment of abandoned children continues, long after the fall of communism and despite the country gaining European Union membership. But this was just the start of his work that would spark a global debate over the ban on adoptions of vulnerable children by foreigners. With help from many others, he uncovered the truth about more than a million children held in inhumane conditions and desperate for parents in Romania and Turkey.
This book charts the emotional and heartwarming story of how a journalist's undercover reports came to inspire a duchess and two princesses to help expose the scandal of children held in inhuman conditions.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"'Chris Rogers' reports made me realise that I needed to come out of the corner... be true to myself about what I stand for and not be worried about who I may upset in the process. Chris and I have become a team: he is the 'exposer' and I am the activist, the campaigner. Sarah Duchess of York."
