The Story So Far

About the Book

The ramblings herein, will hopefully enlighten the reader to some of the things that I had to go through as a child. And some of the pitfalls of growing up with a disability. It may will lead you through a tsunami of different emotions. Hopefully It will show you just how little tolerance people had back in the 1970’s and 80’s to somebody who wasn’t quite ‘run of the mill.’ The book is also a way of me expressing my anger and sadness because of what Polio has made me go through and what it has done to me both physically and mentally and how it has left me. You will hopefully understand better, the reasons why some of us end up being bitter and angry with the people who we love the most. It’s not easy being different. It’s not easy living in pain.

About the Author

Born in Grimsby I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s. Proud to be part of a proud working-class family. But were people were less informed, and less tolerant of people with a disability than they are today. Growing up was painful and tough. Around every corner was a new obstacle for me to get over, be that a personal or physical barrier. Nonetheless, I stood my ground and have turned out to be an okay guy who has fathered three lovely daughters.
