FREE -- US & UK Kindle Edition -- Me an our Kid by Michael Yarwood

This is a  true story of two brothers growing up in Liverpool during the late 40s and early 1950s.

They were stigmatised from an early age because they came from a broken home. Growing up in state sponsored poverty, they used their imagination to stay ahead of their antagonists. Trouble always seemed to stalk them from the shadows. Their story traces them through a comical journey of poverty, mayhem and mischief during their early years.Even at school the bigots raise dtheir ugly heads in the form of teachers. Not once did they weaken, they fought for their place in society that had written them off as no hopers. Truly a story of bigotry and definace, yet they stayed close to each other, fought shoulder to shoulder and gave as much as they got even at such young age.  Not having birthdays or even a decent Christmas did not deter them, it was what they were used to. After leaving school they drifted apart for 40 years until they met up again and decided their story should be written.

What of them now, well they came through it all with their heads held high. Today, yes the memory is still there but it doesn't hurt anymore and life has been good to those two brothers over the years.
