Following the success of Johns debut collection Like a Fine Piece of China, this second collection sees a mind returning to full normality, after a massive mental breakdown.

We see an author finding his feet again, and notice a much more positive approach to the daily grind.

About the Author

Born in Cappamore, Co. Limerick, Ireland, in 1947, John has experienced mental health issues and been through the system, since a savage sexual assault in the workplace 6 years ago. One thing is for sure, writing was the one constant in an otherwise very inconstant series of experiences; John found the discipline of writing to be very therapeutic indeed, and is writing to this day.
