“No Photographs” is due for release, through our Imaginarium imprint, in early May 2016, and we can’t wait!
We have enjoyed working with Keith and are happy to see him finally tell the story he has kept to himself up until now. Keith hopes that in sharing his own disadvantaged childhood within the care system, he will inspire and encourage others who have faced similar experiences. Keith has achieved success as an adult and firmly believes that others can do the same.

I would like to than Keith for the opportunity to work with him. It has been an absolute pleasure and I wish Keith every success with the launch of his book.
No Photographs is a heart-warming story of survival and triumph in the face of adversity. If you read one book this year, make it this one. Open your heart and let a Keith lead you on a journey through his life. You won’t regret it.

The institutional abuse and neglect of children unlucky enough to enter the UK care system has been recently described as a “national disgrace” by a UK Government report
The statistics on their own make for heart-breaking reading, yet behind every one of them is an individual tale of abandonment, pain, horror, despair and exploitation which almost always goes unheard
Keith Lawton’s life story has been just one of these sad tales. His account of his time in care is harrowing, yet it is alive with hope, survival and triumph in the face of traumatic adversity

“A disturbing, lucid, first-hand account of institutional failings in the UK care system, ‘No Photographs’ is a damning indictment of how that system – intended to help the most vulnerable in our society – instead destroyed countless lives. A must read.”

It's a book that needs to be read with a story that needs to be told.These are children whom are born and bred within this country yet are invisible to all but a few in society,it's serious food for thought for all.
