Description

Tracing the life of the author's father, this passionate, vivid memoir follows him through his childhood in west England, his successful 25-year career in the Indian Army before the country's independence in 1947, and his final years in Devonshire, where he raised a family while the symptoms of Huntington's disease gradually set in.

Born of a family of impoverished Cornish fishermen, he and his six sisters cared for their dying mother after losing their father at the start of World War I-before Huntington's reared itself in their lives and lead to the death of three of the siblings.

An absorbing, tense story of a building family crisis, this is an inspiring narrative showing that, through courage and faith in the face of great adversity, peace can be found.
