<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>Bourke Street, My View from Here </em>follows the untold story of street community member Tony Brooks through a life journey that tells the personal truth of an ordinary life landed in extraordinary circumstances - and the perplexing personal choices that followed, and their dire consequences. Jen converses with the man people call 'The Mentor of Bourke Street' about tattoos, his past - drugs, gaol, family, release - and contemporary street life and its complex community. It is a tale of challenge, change and acceptance. Tony talks - about it all.</p><p>The reader is offered an analysis of another culture on our city streets, set in Melbourne . This could be any major town or city, anywhere in the world. Despite his struggles, Tony remains an uplifting charmer on Bourke Street to hundreds who know him, and a friendly stranger with a ready smile to those who don't.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>'Everyday in our cities we walk past numberless stories without knowing it. With time, patience and sympathy, Jen Hutchison has listened to one such story, and it's well worth your whole attention.'</p><p>-- Gideon Haigh</p><br>
