Product Description
Product Description
Hampered by a hearing impairment at eight years of age, the author was left to fend for himself in an education system that did not recognise his disability. A catalogue of hurdles followed: chastised by his father and abandoned by his family; betrayed by his wife, her family, friends and anyone else who could be persuaded to embark an a brutal and sustained campaign of bullying, character assassination, theft, vandalism and deception; deceived by the legal profession, cheated by the social services and mugged by the financial institutions and the government.
Sleepless nights and anxiety over his well-being became a way of life. Always refusing to surrender, he absorbed the constant onslaught throughout his life and survived in reasonable health and fitness.

A good read, eye-opening account of one mans battle for the right to see his son. A book that will keep you hooked until the end.
Format:Paperback
A serious but sometimes humerous tale that kept me gripped upto the end,that also revealed the crackes in the British justice system that leave many astranged fathers clutching at straws frustrated by unintrested parties making life changing dissisions without proper consideration...a good read!

Good read
23 Oct 2005
Format:Paperback
This novel is about the hardships and endurance of a man who at every hurdle turned them into a challenge. Like every story there are good guys and bad guys, the bad guys in this were the the people who where supposed to love and encourage him, his family. Treated as a slave in his own home then thrown out on street with nothing but the clothes he stood in, made me appreciate what I had whilst growing up and how easy I had it. Unbelievably betrayed by his friends, but even more unbelievably betrayed and bullied by his wife and her family. This book is shocking and captivating and makes you angry at an education system that failed him so many times, whilst his network of support at home failed him every time.
