"''Impeccably written and a story worth telling.'' (M.A. McRae) ''I love the descriptive power of this writer. The writing has just the right balance, not too flowery but giving rich sensual detail that paints the scene. Biographers can get caught up in distracting details, but not here. Not every facet is outlined, allowing the reader to fill the gaps in a satisfying way. Perfect for me. The narration is totally credible and very moving. I felt fully engaged with Paul and could see the world through his eyes. I sincerely hope this work receives the light of attention it deserves. Excellent.'' (Nick Goulding) ''have to say that your imagery is superb'' (Diana Hockley) ''I've only just begun your book, but I am already amazed at both your writing ability and the deeply emotional story you have to tell. I was immediately drawn into Paul's backstory, completely captivated by the early family life and the unimaginably poor living conditions. You paint beautifully with such colorful words, and I felt as if I was right there...craving the loaf of bread and scared to death of the snake. To tell you the truth, I'm not a fan of reading on the computer (at ALL!), but I felt so at ease with your piece. The honesty, the pain, the truly raw humanity here draws me in, and I know it will carry me on through your work. Giving you highest stars. A beautifully-written, utterly moving piece of art.'' (Faith Rose) ""I think that it is an awesome book. This story must be told. As a mother, my heart went out to your husband over and over again. Lorraine, you are an awesome author. You write extremely well.'' (Cherrye Vasquez) ''This is a very powerful account of the lives of children taken into care by the Australian government. Paul's account of his time at the Home under the 'care' of the nuns was appalling, although not completely surprising to anyone who attended a school run by nuns in the 50s or earlier. This is clearly a book that needs to be written - and read.'' (Colin Neville)"
