Fifty-One Moves is a deeply personal and moving story. However, it is neither a polemic nor a rant against the care system, but a simple, straightforward and altogether readable account of one fascinating life in care. While anecdotal in style, it is no less a very real and, sadly, all too typical account.
The book is, at times, an uncomfortable read, depicting Ben's constant struggle against injustice and unfairness in a system that too often failed to listen to him or provide the stability of care that he so desperately needed. It follows a long and distinguished tradition of people writing books about their life in care.
