DLD and Damo's struggles growing up were fascinating and highly informative. It is sometimes an emotional read especially when Damo talks about his feelings about failing his parents. Damo is an absolute delight to know and I know his parents would be immensely proud of who he is today! I urge people to read this book and educate themselves on this-fantastic job!</span></p><p data-sleek-node-id=cf6984><br></p><p data-sleek-node-id=f69845><em style=color: rgba(153 194 230 1); background-color: rgba(31 31 31 1) data-sleek-node-id=75c58f>5.0 out of 5 stars.
