Tim Brannigan was born in Belfast in 1966, and spent the first year of his life in St Joseph's Baby Home, before being adopted by his birth mother. Told here for the first time is Tim's extraordinary story, describing in vivid detail what it was like growing up black in Belfast during the turbulent 1970s and 80s, his five-year stint as a republican prisoner, his coming to terms with the true circumstances surrounding his birth, and his desperate attempts to trace the father who abandoned him.
