About this ebook
A father's heartbreaking memoir of the abduction and murder of his son, James Bulger, and his relentless fight for justice against an incomprehensible evil.
James Bulger was just a few weeks shy of his third birthday when, on 12 February 1993, he wandered away from his mum Denise in a shopping mall in Bootle. Captured on security cameras, the chilling image of ten-year-old Jon Venables leading away the trusting toddler still haunts the nation.
In this poignant memoir, Ralph Bulger shares his profound grief over losing his son in an act of unfathomable violence. From the painful aftermath of James' murder through a strained marriage and an unrelenting quest for justice, My James delves deep into one family's harrowing journey.
Despite the tragedy that tore his family apart, Ralph pays tribute to his son, remembering James as a bright and joyful boy whose light remains undimmed. This Sunday Times top ten bestseller is a powerful story of love, loss, and a father's fight to ensure his son's short life was not lost in vain.
Threaded with sorrow, resilience, and an undying hope for justice, My James is a deeply moving account of a family's heartbreak and a father's unwavering dedication in the face of devastating loss.

Utterly heartbreaking! I have never read a book that has bought me to tears like James's story has. Ralph and Denise are so brave for being able to express their private feelings in such a way and dedicating their life to James in such an amazing way! My heart goes out to ralph and Denise and the entire family! RIP James, sleep well lad ♥
