- Signature Addition: Jenna Padayachee
I found that Ali Master, despite his circumstances, was an adaptable human being who managed to re-orientate himself and choose to do his best, even when things spun out of control.
Ali found out he was adopted the moment his favorite uncle died ( who we discover is his father). This moment had the potential to set Ali off in a downward spiral, and he eventually self-regulated and looked at the positives. Then again, he managed to self-regulate despite the sexual advances of those offenders who were employees of his " parents at a young age."
Even when Ali changed his religion and studies to follow his heart, he still maintained his relationship with his parents. When Judy needed her space, Ali stuck to his course of commitments, although challenging.
There was a moment where he attempted suicide, but he bounced back.
This book shows the struggles of a human who, despite his challenges, still came out as a winner in so many ways.
I believe this book has a great way of motivating anyone willing to give it a chance. Plus, there is some beautiful humor in terms of the author's thought processes on certain things that just tie in so nicely, which can add a smile and provide an enriching perspective on how to approach some dark matters and still love life.
