Product Description

Product Description

Beaten by his father from his earliest memories, sexually molested by his grandfather and step-grandfather, Thomas McKinnon battled through his childhood, confronting serious challenges and learning from painful experiences how to be a survivor.'At that time it seemed I was always fighting; fighting off bullies trying to remove my helmet: fighting off groups of screaming kids shouting 'Baldy!'; fighting nurses, doctors and my father as they held me down to stick those bloody needles into me. In fact, I felt that I was fighting the whole world, all by myself.' As he pieces together fragments of his memories, from earliest school days to the pains of adolescence and the welcome freedom into young adulthood, the author paints a highly picturesque portrait of his developing personality. A poignant and very personal story, sensitively written, there is a lesson here for everyone. From the author: 'I think the lesson I learnt was one of facing me fears, and honoring myself.' Inspirational reading!
