This is a tale of survival that speaks of hope and perseverance in the face of relentless adversity.

The story in itself should break your heart, but the author’s perspective creates a humour and a warmth that leaves the reader smiling through the moments of sadness. The most striking elements of this man’s incredible biography are the human connections he makes along the way and the saviours that seem to come into his life at just the right time. Far from being a case of good luck and timing, the reader understands that this is someone who creates the world around him in all the aspects he can control. And that even the most undignified of lives can be turned around if life’s author retains a belief in the importance of his own values.
