Joe's memories about growing up in children and boys homes in South Africa was captivating and endearing from the first page on. He shares with a refreshing honesty some dark, many happy and often bitter sweet recollections of reaching adulthood without the support of a family. My heart went out to the little boy who didn't have the best start life, but proves that no matter what one is handed, one can make the best out of it . Congratulations Joe to a great start in a hopefully flourishing writing career.</p><p><br></p><p>Fred Adelhelm</p><p><em>5.0 out of 5 stars</em></p><p><strong> 5/5 for a touching story</strong></p><p>Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2017</p><p>Verified Purchase</strong></p><p>Excellent insight into life in South Africa through the ryes of a 'white' boy who spent all of his growing up years in an orphanage in the 1950's and 60's. The individuals personal growth & development takes center stage in the surreal world of a racially divided country. The writers personal experiences are eloquently shared and are funny, sad and overall uplifting. The innocence of a child, always seeking the best options on a day to day basis, in a world that is both frightening and insecure.</p><p>I enjoyed the book immensely and it gave me a very different and personal perspective of what it must have been like living in South Africa.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><br>
