This colourful and insightful memoir invites us on one man's journey from adversity to triumph. Scott Clark traces his history from early setback, through life's rich tapestry of fun and drama, the mundane and the exotic to reach its ultimate conclusion: that the measure of our lives is to be found in what we do with what we have. As the author's candid story unfolds, we join him as he comes to terms with his uniqueness, the thing that makes him special, and how he negotiates life in Australia in the latter half of the twentieth century. We travel with him as he explores a wider world and searches for the solution - the answer to that one big question.
