In 1957, at the age of 9, Susans brother was in an adult unit a unit treating very seriously ill mental patients. In 1985, Susans brother took delivery of an Aston Martin DBS V8. The intervening 28 years hold a remarkable story about a man who grew and prospered as a successful engineering professional, but started out as a dyslexic slow starter, unwanted by his parents and sister. Set in a Middle England which is recovering from the war, damaged buildings and infrastructure have to be repaired, but also damage people and damaged lives. This is based on a true history, a history that gives hope, a history that demonstrates how simple acts of kindness by friends and neighbours can help someone overcome tremendous handicaps, identity denial and family abuse to become a success both as a person and a parent. There is also a message about those who learn to abuse as children and continue that abuse into adulthood with their own children, and also about those in the extended family who turn a blind eye out of a misplaced sense of family loyalty. This book has some dark moments, but it is a book written to uplift. As it was related to James, by Susans brother "I want this book to show that ordinary people, doing ordinary things, can help someone get through the most appalling difficulties. If it wasnt for the Tolhursts, I wouldnt be here today"
