The government told a story about me before I was born.
Jenni Fagan was property of the state before birth. She drew her first breath in
care and by the age of seven, she had lived in fourteen different homes and had
her name changed multiple times.
Twenty years after her first attempt to write this powerful memoir, Jenni is
finally ready to share her account. Ootlin is a journey through the broken UK
care system – it is one of displacement and exclusion, but also of the power of
storytelling. It is about the very human act of making meaning from adversity.
