I'd been aquainted with David Thomas - the author, on a professional basis for a number of years, without any knowledge of his remarkably painful upbringing, which this Sunday Times best seller has now revealed. It's one of those books that dares you to put it down, such is the never-ending turmoil that constantly surprises you with each turn of the page. That a young person can survive such an upbringing is startling. That he ends up achieving what he does in life, as well as forgiving those who did their best to countenance it, is nothing short of remarkable. I always had a suspicion the world would eventually hear more of David Thomas. To me, the revelations and forgiveness chronicled in this book confirm those thoughts. It's not a book to leave lying around for teenagers, but the author completes the difficult task of explaining what often (through pain) precedes the makeup of a truly caring individual. A very good read.
Format:Paperback
I know David Thomas, and was privy to some, though not all, of his story, as written here. From a truly heartbreaking childhood (my God do you want to pick that boy up and hug it all better), through his troubled teen years, and, ultimately his redemption it's a gripping read right through his journey. It's very well wriiten and pacey, but read it with a box of tissues handy! It ends with the ulitimate act of forgiveness, that I'm not sure all of us would be able to manage.
