Getting a Life: The Tale of an Orphan - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

BJ is an only child who is tragically orphaned on his seventh birthday in India. With his life ripped from him he is frightened, alone and feels unloved. His childish imagination conjures up images of a future life on the streets like the homeless beggars he has seen when out with his mother. But she has left him a priceless legacy - her character, sense of justice and values and, of course, her deep Catholic faith. Her parish priest sends him to a Catholic orphanage run by a fee paying boarding school. There he develops into a model pupil winning the respect of his peers and teachers alike. Stepping out into the wide world outside the cloistered regime of the school, the help of various people enables him to carve out his own niche in life. Throughout his emotionally tortured life fate continues to orchestrate events and he begins a whole new and dramatic chapter when he emigrates to the UK. Getting a Life is just that - the emotional tale of an orphan growing up, finding a surrogate father and a wife and becoming a father himself. Life has come round full circle. He is no longer alone. He has a new family.
