Description
Abandoned by his mother, abused by his dad, bullied at school ... Childhood wasn't easy for Steve Walker. By the age of 23, he had become one of London's most notorious drug-dealers - nickname "Psycho" - with a fast car, a trail of broken relationships, and a life-threatening drug habit of his own. When his business partner's body was found in the boot of a car, Steve moved underground in a bid to go straight. But leaving his old life behind was more difficult than he'd imagined. Years later, committed to a psychiatric hospital, his body ravaged by abuse, he was given one last chance to save himself... Steve: Unwanted is a testament to the incredible power there is within all of us to break even our most hardened habits and behaviour, and turn our lives around. It is a glimmer of light for anyone touched by addiction.
