Lost Youth Volume 1 New Zealand

PRESS RELEASE

A book like no other is what you're holding in your hands at this very moment.
An incredible true story of a life lived like no other. It is a story of one man’s journey that begun in New Zealand.

Written in two volumes, the first which is what you're about to read starts from the very beginning of a childhood that speaks honestly about the destruction that a child experiences from witnessing first hand domestic violence between his two parents.

Parents who at one stage did very much love one another but an affair soon rocked that marriage and pulled the family apart.

The onslaught of heavy drinking by a father who lost his grip on his own family and became a violent man. Something any child should never have to witness. Watching a father who was always such a loving man but towards their mother, he would turn anger into fists of fury.

Christian escaped his broken home into a world of gangs. A gang culture that is ripe throughout the land of most of New Zealand. Gangs, which can at times become like another family where a young lost soul can find a sense of belonging within. But with gang culture comes trouble.

He was in trouble with the law, trouble with others and most of all trouble with himself. With no father figure at home to keep him in line but only a loving mother who now couldn't cope.Christian had become the man of the house
protecting his sister and mother but also running wild living a life of danger and corruption.

Read through this epic tale of one child’s struggle to belong.The battles that life presents him with and the heartache of such sorrow and sadness that any person will find upsetting.

dreams, where one man never gave up. A lost youth that didn’t stop him from
