A boy’s journey into adulthood; that sees him exposed to physical and mental abuses. But things were to get much worse for Nigel. At the age of eleven, he was abandoned to a children’s home that came to be known as ‘The Home from Hell’. Here, he was one of many young boys subjected to the most hideous forms of sexual abuse, perpetrated by the founder who was subsequently jailed for his crimes. When he left The Home as a young man, Nigel's life was already dysfunctional, and the book goes on to describe his subsequent addiction to sex. It details his flirtation with drugs and violence, and his obsessive striving for wealth and a personal identity. The boy becomes a man, surviving broken relationships, failed businesses and even membership of a religious cult. With sheer determination and renewed self-worth, he overcomes his struggle with his bipolar disorder, and eventually finds true love and inner peace with ‘Alicia’, the girl from the sex Chatlines.
