Rose's Boy

Chris Chandler, began life in poverty and poor health, the third born of four brothers. After a childhood that was fraught with difficulties, he grew up to lead an interesting and happy life. Chris faced many challenges and made many new friends when travelling abroad and building a career back home, but he never forgot his family background. Apart from the part of Barry, and the names of certain individuals that the author felt the need to change, everything else in the story is true, taken from everyday events in the life of a remarkable man.
