For years, Bruce Templeton kept his windows boarded over. A
hellish childhood with violent, vindictive foster parents left the
53-year-old deeply withdrawn, sometimes suicidal and distrustful of the
world.
But these days, the neat rooms of his Preston unit are filled with light. And he has begun using colour, rather than just black-and-white, in the pencil and ink drawings he has produced since he was a child, a source of solace and quiet pride.
