Sent away to boarding school on his eighth birthday, Mark Stibbe watched his adoptive parents drive down a gravel road, leaving him standing in front of a huge country house with his trunk and his teddy. That night he was given the first of four beatings in his first two weeks. Ten years later, towards the end of his time at Britains oldest public school, Mark was then subjected to further brutal abuse, along with twenty other boys, by a man who infiltrated the Christian forum.; Mark Stibbe wrote Home at Last to show how those wounded by their boarding school experiences can find lasting healing. Having been through the process of recovery himself, Mark now tells his story and shares a unique, faith-based perspective and how to start the journey towards freedom from the abandonment and abuse that so often marks the boarding experience.
