Mary Peters 
Neither Use Nor Ornament [EPUB ebook] 

Brought up in care and by a far from loving foster family, Mary Peters tells her heartbreaking and truly inspirational story with honesty and candour, not to mention an ever-present sense of humour. Having battled with rheumatoid arthritis for most of her life, Mary tells how the stigma of being brought up in care has sometimes proved to be as much of a challenge as her illness, but how with the support of her loved ones and a fierce determination she has finally found peace of mind.
