Symphony

About the Book

Symphony is the story of one man’s journey through ill health and out the other side – a journey and a struggle that lasted 17 years. A very large cyst in his head that he was born with caused him to lose everything, until it was finally discovered and surgically removed after 10 years. It took him another 4 years to recover fully, move back to his hometown, and finally get back to work after 17 years spent on the Disability Support Pension. For anyone who has ever suffered hard times, this story will serve as a testament to the human spirit, to hope and faith, patience and perseverance, and to never giving up. Above all else, Symphony is a story about finally going home.
