Another wonderfully warm and addictive tale from Michael Coatesworth. We accompany him on a journey which takes us from him growing up in the 1950s through very testing times to almost present day. A thought provoking tale of one man's sometimes difficult and traumatic journey through life and those people who touched his life along the way. Discipline at home was strict and harsh and when his father decides that it's time that he stood on his own two feet he turns him out on to the streets at the tender age of 14.
It is heart-warming that after so much heartache and upset the author finds a woman to marry and share his life with. Without her unwavering support, from the good times to the sometimes very bad, a new family unit is formed to provide the love, support and companionship which was sometimes lacking in his earlier years.
