In 1986 Margaret Humphreys, a British social worker, investigated a woman's claim that at the age of four she had been put on a boat to Australia by the British government. At first thinking it incredulous, Margaret discovered that this was just the tip of an enormous iceberg. Up to 150,000 children, some as young as three years old, had been deported from children's homes in Britain and shipped off to a "new life" in distant parts of the British empire, right up until 1970. Many were told that their parents were dead, and parents often believed that their children had been adopted in Britain. In fact, for many children it was to be a life of horrendous physical and sexual abuse far away from everything they knew. Here, Margaret reveals how she unraveled this shocking secret and how it became her mission to reunite these innocent and unwilling exiles with their families in Britain. Originally published as Empty Cradles.
Devasting story about how the so-called "Christian" charities in cahoots with the UK government dumped their children of the poor and orphanges like garbage,by sending them many only toddlers.... 12,000 miles away to be slave labor in Austrailia, New Zealand, Canada,ect!

Y:The Last Man by Brian K. Vaughn and Pia Guerra - it's a comic about what would happen if every living thing with a Y chromosome died except for a young man and his monkey.
Daytripper by Fabio Moon and Gabriel Ba - it's a series with each issue focusing on a different part of the main character's life, but there's a major twist at the end of each issue. The final issue is so poignant.
I remember as a kid that I cried to Where the Red Fern Grows.
I'm a pretty emotional reader, so there are loads more.

That was definitely very emotional. I was very cynical when I read it (high school), but that was probably the most moving part.otleylovebug wrote:Had to think about this - I cried at lots of films - but a book that did make me cry was Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens. So sad at the end and dramatic as he is going tothe guillotine.
