Publishers Description: A young boy was adopted into the Darrell-Lea family - The adopted children were told that they would never inherit anything from the family but were ‘playmates and brought up alongside the Darrell-Lee children that eventually did inherit everything. His name was Sheldon and he became a poet in the 1960s. The mother didnt really like him. He was brought up knowing that he was unloved. The author was actually friends with another adoptee, Honey, so there was an interesting twist and lots of inside information that helped him write the story. Sheldon ended up being and alcoholic/ criminal and died young, but it was a great read.
