How does Born A Bastard highlight the struggles of an unwanted child?

Christopher P. Childs paints a vivid picture of what it means to feel unwanted from birth. Born A Bastard Book begins with rejection and moves through cycles of abuse, abandonment, and neglect. As a child, he carried the weight of pain no one should face. His teenage years brought homelessness, crime, and drugs, as survival became his only focus. Yet, this book doesn’t end in tragedy—it shows the slow, powerful journey toward healing. Christopher proves that the label “unwanted” does not have to define a person’s future. Through courage and faith, he turned hardship into a life of hope and purpose.
