'Honest and poignant' THE SUN
The honest and revealing story of John Lennon's childhood by his sister Julia.
Through her own personal journey, Julia reveals the battle between two strong, self-willed women - John's mother and his Aunt Mimi - to have custody of John in his early years. It was Aunt Mimi who finally won and removed John from his mother at the age of five. But as John grew up, he would frequently return home - spending time with his mother and half-sisters, Julia, Jackie and Ingrid, learning his love of music from his mother, and hanging out, playing guitar with his childhood friend Paul McCartney.
Julia is candid about the sadness as well as the joy of their broken family life. She details the devestating loss of their mother Julia in a road accident - and describes the painful legacy for the entire family, especially John as he moves into a life of stratospheric fame with the Beatles.

Beautifully written, quite moving
Even if you didn’t know of John Lennon you could not help but be moved by the story of his mother, sisters, and family. Julia Baird wrote a profoundly loving tribute to her mother, family, and older brother John. His mother especially has been so badly misrepresented and deserved so much better, and I’m so glad that Julia Baird shared her story with all of us.
