The book is a non-fiction biographical/memoir that contains an epic ‘David and Goliath’ tale. David is represented by an individual who is continually in fear of being stomped on and crushed by the gigantic boot of human history and the machinery that supports it. The author recalls and retraces his path from the time that he was born in a small post WW11 torn village in southern Italy to the present day, 63years later, residing in a rural South Australian town. Yes, it is ‘long way from the beginning’. In between the writer gives voice to the cavalcade of personal experiences and along with the various events and incidents observed and witnessed and influenced by. As far as can been ascertained there is no other literary work that the writer has come across whereby the author of a book has lived and is able to tell his story while contending with a major psychological and emotional handicap that can be traced back to his early childhood. The tale commences by recalling the events that led to a child being uprooted from his native homeland soon after birth and taken to a foreign land on the other side of the world. Not long after the child is catapulted into circumstances which will impact directly on his personal growth and that of how he interacts with the outside world. All too often the author’s experiences are chaotic and erratic and reflect the many and varied challenges that he had to face. The book would appeal to a wide cross section of readers:The ‘Baby Boomers’ who would want to reminisce over this period of history. Young readers who want to gain insight into the world their parents lived through. Sections of the population who are struggling and want to be reminded that they are not alone.
