Reaching for the Universe

About the Book

Writing about one’s family and life is subjective but I have in good faith tried to be factual in all accounts. Some names have been changed for privacy reasons. I hope readers who come from a background of deprivation and suffering will, after reading this book, have courage and realise that with dedication and help, it is possible to reach your goals and dreams.
