This book is a no holds barred look into the many hardships one man had to face throughout a large part of his life. It is made all the more compelling by the fact that it is a true story. Right from the very first page your attention is completely held as you are taken on a dark journey looking at childhood abuse, the struggles of a gay man in 1980’s South Africa and the destructive nature of a drug addiction. It made me realize how inconsequential both mine and the majority of the modern world’s problems really are.Above all this is a story of hope though. It teaches us that problems can be overcome and people can become stronger and move on in their lives. I implore anyone who has battled addictions or abuse to read this book, it will touch your heart, open your eyes and inspire you.
