What is Coram Boy about?

In eighteenth-century England, desperate mothers pay the Coram man to take their babies to London’s Foundling Hospital. Instead, he secretly abandons them, while his troubled son, Mish, witnesses the terrible truth. When Mish rescues a baby named Aaron, the child grows up in safety, unaware of his past. Years later, Aaron’s musical talent leads him towards his birth family—but a cruel mistake places him and his friend Toby in danger. Their search for the truth becomes a gripping fight for survival and justice.
