Four Becomes the One

Peter Johnson is born in Manchester after a difficult birth to his mother Brenda; the fourth son to her and husband Jim. Unknowingly his father wished for a daughter. One year later Jim tells Brenda how he feels unable to bond closely with their youngest son. So for the next seven years she banishes him from their marital bed; until Peter has his eighth birthday. Things change when Brenda becomes pregnant. But tragedy strikes! By 1968 Peters oldest brother marries; his twin brother also leaves home taking up their careers as footballers. At just fourteen his father attacks him in a drunken rage! Peter is terrified confiding in his best friend Elly that he is running away; not telling her where hell go though promising to keep in touch. All alone he takes a bus to London. What will life be like for him from now on?
