Most of us reach our seventies and can look back with some satisfaction on a life well-lived. In the case of the author of this book, Peter Ross, to have not only survived but retained his sanity, is a remarkable achievement in itself. Peter has had more glory days than most of us and attained great financial success beyond the wildest dreams of the majority. Conversely, he has suffered greatly at the hands of others he trusted. This has also affected the lives of those he holds dear, his present wife and children. The contents of this book will shock and horrify you. His childhood was beset with violence including being beaten and raped by those employed to look after and care for him. Almost any other man, after such a start would have been happy to find a quiet existence and humdrum employment. Not Peter, he was ambitious not only for himself but for others. He was happy to help anyone whose life he touched, but that did not stop the betrayals that pursued him. This is a book to read and to wonder how Peter had the strength of mind to cope and fight back against not only his enemies but also a legal system that seemed determined to constantly knock him down but somehow after each occasion he retained his sanity and carried on. His determination to fight for what is right and honest, whatever the cost to himself, shines out like a beacon throughout his remarkable story.
