Summary: The Stuttering Joe series is based on the author's true life story. Part 1 - Growing up in Sunny Valley is an emotional roller coaster ride. It is heart warming, sad, very funny, disturbing and shocking in places ...but, ultimately, it is a story of hope and how a true dark horse refused to allow very trying circumstances to get him down.He had to deal with so many obstacles - a severe stutter curbing his expressive and outgoing personality; poverty; his abusive stepfather, Uncle Bastard; sharing a house with the very volatile Religious Ronald; struggling to fit in with his family; sexual abuse; the struggle to make sense of religion; finding himself very disturbed by brutal events he witnessed due to Apartheid, the many thugs in Sunny Valley and nearby Thug Valley and the role alcohol played in society. The dating game was also abnormal and frustrating due to his stutter.But, to equal out the negatives, there were also many positives.The reader will be introduced to some very interesting characters, like:Elvis Crisphead, Snotty Sylvester, Aunty Stinkalot, Flirty Lynne, Sculpted Jean, Sipho Halfjack amongst others.This very pleasant read is a page turner that will leave you wanting more and begging for Part 2.Meet Stuttering Joe and his very s-s-s-s-s-s-stuttering story....'I found this true-life story very interesting and entertaining. It was incredibly sad in places and humorous in others and I'd love to read the rest of the series.ￓ
