Runaway by Skye Sinclair

Skye Sinclair’s life is a story of resilience and courage. Abandoned by her mother at just four years old and shuffled through a series of harsh institutions, Skye quickly learned to survive on her own. After enduring a traumatic assault at the age of ten, she ran away from her care home and found refuge with gypsies in the New Forest. Fearless and determined, Skye's journey took her across the globe—from working in French abattoirs at 15 to navigating the glamorous yet dangerous world of Paris fashion, and later becoming a diamond smuggler in Amsterdam at just 17. She even made her way to Hollywood, working as a stuntwoman in major films like Blues Brothers.

But her most profound adventure began when she settled in Phuket, Thailand, where she adopted four children and dedicated her life to helping others. Alongside friends, she co-founded an orphanage in Cambodia, rescuing street children from the harsh realities of life on a municipal dump. Now, at 45, the runaway has found her purpose in caring for children, both her own and those she has vowed to protect. Skye’s journey of survival has come full circle—her heart, once restless, has finally found a home.
