Publisher's Synopsis
After more than forty years of writing, on and off, I find myself in the position where I've finally came to the end of 'this story, ' for now. Over the years there has been many times I've almost given up, thinking it's not going to happen. Bare in mind I began this autobiography with a pen and paper, well before the computer arrived. It was meant to just be a kind of diary of some of my life experiences, for reference. However, I began to enjoy my own writing and from the moment I first started, some time around 1981, I felt I was discovering myself as I wrote. So, I wrote backwards before I went forward, meaning I traced back to my first memories. As a baby I always felt I was in my mum's loving arms and I know my dad, Tommy, was her man and they were a rock solid, loving couple. My childhood was blessed with a strong foundation and I now know those early years imprinted a burning desire in me to find love and be loved; but first I had to navigate through life's dramas and the ups and downs we all have to bare as we grow and evolve. Indeed, this story is about a little boy and his journey to Enlightenment and if I say so myself, what a journey I've had! During the writings I've had a few life changes and also possible endings to this story, but just as I'm about to close the book, another mind-blowing event unfolds and I decide to carry on and write about it. Some of the happenings are wrote in real time, as they are actually happening, some are so hard it's impossible to continue until I experience a kind of awareness I'm being guided, so I pick up the pen, maybe now a Mac computer, and I continue. As I write through the drama or sadness, I feel a healing inside of me as though I've literally written the dark out of me and I feel reborn. So why have I chosen this moment to finish my book? The simple answer is, I found what I've always been looking for: Love, Balance and Peace. I hope you enjoy my life, 'Walking Through Doors, ' as much as I enjoyed pushing them doors open...
I had always intended my book to be in one volume but I could not find a printer that could do this, so I've had to divide the book into three volumes. Hopefully my book keeps you entertained from the beginning until its conclusion; it's kept me on the edge tracing my life for many years. Enjoy and thank you. Trace Harris
