Born in 1975 in the UK to a Pakistani father & an English mother, Alexander Khan spent his early years as a Muslim in the north of Engl&. But at the age of three his family was torn apart when his father took him to Pakistan. Despite his desperate cries, that was the last he saw of his mother
- he was told she had walked out & abandoned them; many years later he learned she was told he'd died in a car crash in Pakistan. Three years on Alex is brought back to Engl&, but kept hidden at all times. His father disappears to Pakistan again, leaving Alex in the care of a stepmother & her cruel brother. & it is then that his troubles really begin.

A fascinating & compelling account of young boy caught between two cultures, this book tells the true story of a child desperately searching for his place in the world; the tale of a boy, lost & alone, trying to find a way to repair a life shattered by the shocking event he witnessed through a crack in the door of a house in an isolated village in Pakistan.
