Product Description
Forty percent of the population are noticeably shy, about four percent are crippled by an acute shyness known as social-phobia. Most social-phobics become alcoholics or commit suicide. If you know an adult or a child who may suffer from this syndrome, give them this inspiring and hopeful tale. The hero of this true story, driven by his mother’s demonic haunting, finds professional help to understand his highly dysfunctional family, overcome shyness, gain insight and at last gain the courage to reach towards his full potential. Set in post-war Stockport in England, the book also beautifully sketches a portrait of those innocent and impoverished decades after the troops came home, and of some of the forces that shaped our parents’ and grandparents’ lives.
