Tracing the life of the authors father, this passionate, vivid memoir follows him through his childhood in west England, his successful 25-year career in the Indian Army before the countrys independence in 1947, and his final years in Devonshire, where he raised a family while the symptoms of Huntingtons 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 Ibefore Huntingtons 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.
