Tony Rao

Tony Rao lives in Kent, England with two children studying at university. This book is the culmination of twenty years of listening to the narratives of people living in an area founded on the docks and the drinking culture within it. He came to write his first book to put his experiences into words for a topic that is close to his heart. His professional work has involved improving opportunities for marginalized groups over the years. Experience in having a family member with a severe and enduring mental illness has also been used within the novel to enhance the storyline.
