This book is a life’s journey. The journey has many facets from joy to grief. A self-aware and honest account. Specific focus is adoption, life as a gay man and living with HIV, but it’s a book for all to consider. So many twists and turns, a life fully lived. A quote from LM: “I have laughed and cried and felt angry and proud, all in the pages of this book. “A powerful account of Paul’s life.” Life in the late 1970s up to recent times.

Paul’s book is written in easy-to-read language, covering family life, relationships, community support, peer pressure, success, prejudice, and judgemental consequences. He believed in destiny and a road to a defined life, with pathway choices.

The lovingly handwritten book was found amongst Paul’s academic work. As parents, feelings surfaced: “This book needs to be shared.” Readers will have their own interpretations, perhaps encouraging them to link to others’ life journeys.

The book is honest and often punchy.

Paul Grace is a larger-than-life character; you know when he is in the room. Kind, sensitive and reflective.

Adopted at 7 days old, embracing a new family of mum, dad and older brother.

School life was tough and not enjoyable. Diagnosed at college with dyslexia, learning took off, achieving qualifications in hospitality and a successful career. An opportunity of a change in career—was he able to do it? Yes, a first-class honours degree and a master’s.

Exploring sexuality. Life—what a party.
