This is the story of a typical country boy, Michael Fahey.
From a large family living in Hallett, in the Mid-North of South Australia, Michael talks about his life growing up with his four sisters and brother, and about going to school, which he ‘hated with a passion’.
Michael reflects on his working life and shearing career, and talks about his travels across the countryside; meeting interesting characters along the way. He shares his adventures and misadventures with work, holidays, sport, women, marriage, and fatherhood.
Michael Fahey also reflects on his more difficult life experiences, including divorce, depression and loneliness, and becoming estranged from his two sons.
This is a book about hitting rock bottom, soul-searching, and reinventing yourself.
This is the story of a bloke who has battled adversity all his life, but has now found happiness and a sense of belonging.
Michael Fahey is a Jack of all trades, master of none. He is a shearer and a nurse, but he is also a son, brother, father, husband, nephew, uncle, and friend to many across the Mid-North and beyond.
