Publisher's Synopsis
Children of my Choosing tells the story of the life of Bruce Fraser through a collection of vignettes that are by turns heartwarming, heartbreaking, reflective, wry and funny but above all true. It begins with a pair of caulked boots and an axe and chronicles an academic career, a stint as an international consultant, the discovery of friendships and the loss of loved ones while exploring the ways the events of our lives shape us and how the world is, in turn, shaped by our own actions.
