This is the story of a boy, who on becoming a man was very mixed up after having been adopted as a teenager. He was brought up with love and care during World War 11 in a life that could be thought of as archaic by today's standards. He decided at age twenty to cast off the old ways and find a new way of life with adventure. This is in the hope that others with similar beginnings will see that destiny is in their hands setting aside the human hurts and superstitions which can entrap. Create a positive attitude and leave the 'what if's' and turn them into the 'I cans'. What you can achieve will surprise you. Blood has more meaning than we realise.

The authors draw upon a rich life history archive of letters, diaries, personal photographs and oral history interviews with former migrants, including those who settled in Australia and those who returned to Britain. They offer original interpretations of key historical themes, including motivations for emigration; gender relations and the family dynamics of migration; the 'very familiar and awfully strange' confrontation with the new world; the anguish of homesickness and return; and the personal and national identities of both settlers and returnees, fifty years on. --book cover.
