Flying under the Radar

<p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>A true story of damaged childhood turbulent adolescence and a descent into alcohol and drugs and the consequent peripatetic lifestyle of a 'down and out'. The reader is carried along with graphic and revealing descriptions of the 'psychedelic' late 60s and early 70s whilst also highlighting the isolation experienced through the author's inability to make meaningful relationships. His searing poetry magnifies in places both his anger and sadness in adolescence which led to the apparent irredeemable hopelessness of a lost soul......and then the beginnings of redemption and re-emergence. This through family friendship and the loving support of a 50-year rock-solid relationship in the security of a place to call home. Then finally the remarkable ending of depression overcome through the moving experience of coming to know God and being healed.</span></p>
