'How does an English farm boy from Kenya end up as a journalist in Australia, Rhodesia and Britain? And then a Presbyterian church minister in New South Wales and Western Australia, where he became the state moderator? Michael Charles describes how his life dramatically chopped and changed as he discovered who he was and where he should go in a world where he didn't seem to fit. Along the way, he married a red headed police inspector's daughter with convict ancestry, with whom he produced a family of three sons. His memoir is honest, but full of humour, giving valuable insights into a tale of triumph over adversity.' (Publication summary)
