Full review
This is the heart wrenching story of a little boy who lost his way in life because of an alcoholic mother, an absent father and an aggressive step-father. His mother abused him after many of her regular drinking binges, his father emigrated after marrying a new woman and his step-father used him as a punch bag due to his own frustrations. This true story delves deep into David's early years and explains why he dipped into a life of criminal activity in his teens. The book does show a happy ending though, where he has made a life for himself and used his talents to better his future. In the beginning, as a reader, you feel sympathy for this little boy but by the end you beam with pride for the triumph in his life.
