The Ten-Pound Adventure


Book Description

This is the story of a boy, who on becoming a man was very mixed up after having been adopted as a teenager.

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.
