A life from tranquil beginnings through to political and economic upheaval, war, peace and the challenges of immigrating to a new land only to experience subtle prejudice, cultural differences and life’s challenges. It is an account of resilience, inner strength, positive thinking, hope, success in the face of adversity.I have felt all the emotions. I have smiled, laughed out loud, cried, felt sadness, shock and frustration. It is so beautifully written and warmed my heart. It is both inspiring and enlightening, helping me understand things of which I was completely ignorant.ELLIE.This book is like fiction. People will argue how it is possible for a man to go through all this and come out seemingly unscathed.TOMMY.
