Robert Lawrie (Gerry) began his life under the most promising of conditions. Born into a highly respected, landed gentry class family with direct connections to British colonial rulers, he ended up living a life of homelessness and becoming a rape victim at a very young age. His once promising life went from one of unlimited potential to unimaginable horrors, a fate that could never have been imagined from his carefree boyhood days in Guyana, the country of his birth. In this memoir, follow the unlikely story of one man's journey from class and privilege to homelessness, from betrayal to success, and then back to more bouts of adversity.
