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.

I've always known of this happening growing up, but reading it as a mother of a boy the same age as James my heart just broke to read of the terrible suffering this poor boy endured at the hands of these evil boys. I hope I never have to endure the misery & grief his poor family have had to live with since that awful day. I held my boy that much tighter & longer while reading this & from now on. Ralph is a brave man to share his story & I hope he can now find some peace from doing so. Much love to u all xxx

This tragic tale of suffering and horror stil impacts me greatly, even though I have no link to the people involved at all. This book absolutely does justice for James and shows how loved he was before that day, and even so after. I will continue to cry tears over James and his family, but this book really did touch my soul and feel I can smile for James' memory. Xx
