This book is a hard-hitting, real insight into the life of a boy growing up in a South American country in the 1980s and 1990s. Growing up without biological parents, the author takes you on an unbelievable journey of struggles, challenges and then discovery and re-emergence. It deals with harrowing subjects such as child abuse, rape and the crippling issue of loneliness and other mental health related issues but also builds up to a sense of self-worth and reflection. We've all been there and have bad experiences which have affected us in some way so it is easy to see that we need to take a good look at ourselves, decide on the course of action and then execute it. We can all relate to the sentiment of "Mirror, Signal, and Move on."
