The Ten-Pound Adventure

About the Book

This is the story of a boy, who on becoming a man was very mixed up after having been adopted as a teenager. He was brought up with love and care during World War 11 in a life that could be thought of as archaic by today's standards. He decided at age twenty to cast off the old ways and find a new way of life with adventure. This is in the hope that others with similar beginnings will see that destiny is in their hands – setting aside the human hurts and superstitions which can entrap.

Create a positive attitude and leave the 'what if's' and turn them into the 'I cans'. What you can achieve will surprise you. Blood has more meaning than we realise.
