About The Book
“Never to Return” is the extraordinary, heart-wrenching true story of Sandy Reid, a young boy who was taken into care at just one year old. His mother had no idea that their lives would be shattered, and she would never see her son again. Sandy and his older sister Maggie were taken away from their parents and their familiar way of life, in the middle of a harsh winter, when the authorities decided to remove the youngest children from their traveling family to supposedly give them a "better life."

What followed was anything but better. Denied contact with his parents, Sandy’s childhood became a series of painful moves from indifferent foster homes to children's shelters, and eventually into the hands of a notorious man known as "Uncle Dave." This man subjected Sandy and other children to systematic abuse.

This shocking story recounts how a child’s life was destroyed, part of a stolen generation, ripped away from their families and forbidden to see them again. But it is also a story of immense courage and resilience, as Sandy Reid endured terrible hardships and abuse, and found a way to survive despite all odds.
