"Ben Nuttall-Smith's biographical novel is a testament to survival. Based on the author's experience of running from the buried memories and shame of horrific sexual abuse during the London Blitz, (he) travels to French Canada and further bullying. At 17, he joins the Navy and is almost happy, for a while. As an artist on the Sunshine Coast, he is finally able to confront his childhood terrors and begin the road of recovery that brings him true love and the full blossoming of his creativity. I highly recommend this moving book that celebrates the human spirit. For all those who have known the horrors of residential schools, persecution for difference I would urge you to read Discovered In A Scream." William Hay, MD FRCPC (Psychiatry) CSAM
