Right.... its really doing my head in, i've been searching the net for over an hour, but im getting nowhere!!! So if anyone knows the name of the book i'd be soooooo grateful!!
The general story is the book is written by this woman whose mum died, and she went to live with her dad and stepmum (who was nasty). This was in South Africa, something happened, and the woman, ended up living on the streets, then after a while i think she ended up back with her dad, somehow, over a period of time she managed to get enough money for the plane fare back to england, where she made a fresh start for herself. But she promised to return to South Africa, anyway she did, and now she helps young children!
Lol.... i know i know..... it hardly makes sense, buts thats what i can remember, the woman was on gmtv one morning, and her story was really moving, my mum said she wanted this book, but i cant find the title anywhere!!
Sorry for making it so long winded!!!!
Thanks :)

LOL.. its took me nearly 20 mins, trying to figure out how to add a comment to reply to your answers!! Thanks everyone for replying!!
I havent got no details at all about this book, no name no isbn number, nada! My search list has looked like this "woman lived south africa lived with dad wrote a book".. so what i have done as suggested is i've emailed GMTV, pleading with them to help!! the woman is about 50ish, i remember she were about my mums age. The other book my mum wanted ive got every detail - rock me gently its called, ive even got the isbn number, but this book is turning our to be a nightmare!!
Thanks everybody tho, its much appreciated x

Have a read of this review:

I'm almost sure that it must be the book that you mean.

would I exhibit my inner maximum sympathy on the shortcoming of your mom. I truthfully have a masters in social artwork and that i could advise you seek for counseling while you're actually not already in some because of the suicidal component you stated. confer with somebody all people which will hear. detect a help group in case you are able to. everybody reacts to tragedy in a distinctive way so analyzing a e book incredibly wont help.
