Not Normal: The uncensored account of an extraordinary true life story

The latest bestseller from Paul Connolly, this is an uncensored account of his extraordinary true life story and lifelong struggle to overcome an abusive childhood and build a normal life for himself and his family. Literally abandoned with the rubbish at 2 weeks old and taken into the care system of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, Paul Connolly was sent to the notorious St Leonard’s home in Essex, where he regularly heard that he was 'not normal' during years of mental, physical and sexual abuse. Childhood friendships made and lost. Total Neglect. Starvation. Sending an illiterate, very angry young man out into the world. After years of extreme violence in London during the 1980's and 90's mixing with gangsters in a dark underworld, Paul confronted memories and demons from his past in the most shocking ways - discovering that six of the eight childhood friends he grew up with in St Leonard's were no longer alive. Great friends and a loving heart transformed Paul’s world and he has gone on to help thousands of people as a specialist conditioning coach, sports injury expert, celebrity personal trainer, presenter and best selling author. He works with various charities and is a core participant in the IICSA historical child abuse enquiry providing a voice for many no longer able to speak up. Above all else, Paul is most proud of being a loving father to his two sons. This inspirational story has now been adapted and made into an independent British movie - Big Boys Don't Cry Life has been anything but normal and the demons will never go away, but Paul has learned to smile at them as many of the people that predicted the worst for him are now where they told this vulnerable little boy he would end up.
