Publisher's Synopsis
Were we able to peer into the distance and see our destinies laid out before us at this very moment in time, we would not see one static image, rather we would find something that more closely resembles a cinematic montage of possibilities. As children, we are shaped by the world around us; as young adults, we are shaped by our decisions and actions. Sometimes we are affected by events without even realising that it is happening and at other times we can watch our world change right before our eyes. Each step along the cobbled path of our lives shapes our futures, which are ever evolving. Troy Henson Explores in heart wrenching detail how easily a life can be molded by circumstance. With unparalleled honesty, he explores mental illness. Abuse, abandonment, drug and alcohol addiction, and recovery. We follow his journey, not as outsiders looking in but as passengers, experiencing something that is equally as beautiful as is tragic. The message we are left with is this "The pursuit of happiness requires us to focus on possibilities instead of impossibilities". With focus, dedication, desire and love, even the deepest of wounds can be mended. Troy Henson was born and raised in Australia. He is a father, a brother and a son, but above all, he is a man with the voice of a poet and the heart of a warrior. Having experienced so many painful and sobering events in his own life, Troy Henson is dedicated to sharing his story in an effort to help others see that, while we may not have the power to change our histories, we do have the power to change our futures.
