This book begins with the story of a young boy, Rem Vandenberg, who was born in 1937 in the Netherlands just before the onslaught of the Second World War. His youth was a struggle to exist under the German occupation and in combating the depravation of poverty. Added to these hardships was the ongoing personal battle he fought daily in accepting the doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church which were heavily imposed on him by the uncompromising adult belief of the time. His authoritarian father loaded with the responsibility of caring for the large family was staunch in upholding his strong principles and instilling them into his children. Of a less serious nature and with a strong desire to be free of the bonds restricting him from freedom of expression and thought Rem was often on the punitive end of the disciple rod, both at school and home. Opposing this oppression was the endless love and compassion of his mother, who through the strength of her faith, was able to engulf the whole family under her mantle of love and bind them together into a caring family unit. At a young age Rem had to begin work to help support the family. What he was expected to do for a few cents per week was beyond the capability of this small undernourished lad. His father insisted on strength of character and allowed him to be pushed to the limit of his endurance. Held by the love of his family but tormented with the urge to be free of restrictions Rem finally took his life in his own hands. At the age of sixteen driven by the spirit of adventure he left home and joined the merchant navy. His first voyage was on a whaling ship to the South Pole which was followed by voyages throughout the world for the next few years. On sailing into his first Australian port his desire to stay in Australia took over. He jumped ship and went inland where he took a job on the railway. After six months as gang worker he was finally picked up by the law and experienced a short jail sentence before being deported back to Holland. His love for Australia was strong and within two years he returned as a legal migrant and still lives in his beloved land today.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “As sweet and funny and sad and true and heartfelt a memoir as one could find.” —from the foreword by Augusten Burroughs Ever since he was young, John Robison longed to connect with other people, but by the time he was a teenager, his odd habits—an inclination to blurt out non sequiturs, avoid eye contact, dismantle radios, and dig five-foot holes (and stick his younger brother, Augusten Burroughs, in them)—had earned him the label “social deviant.” It was not until he was forty that he was diagnosed with a form of autism called Asperger’s syndrome. That understanding transformed the way he saw himself—and the world. A born storyteller, Robison has written a moving, darkly funny memoir about a life that has taken him from developing exploding guitars for KISS to building a family of his own. It’s a strange, sly, indelible account—sometimes alien yet always deeply human.

The book tells the story about a family and the fears that we encountered as we lived in silence to avoid shame and the possibility of financial destitution through our silent journeys through three different countries. The book speaks about honor and friendship and the feeling you get from doing what you believe is right. It points out the cruelty of man kind and how even the closest to you can be cruel and without feelings. You will learn how some times a decision must be made as a result off death threats and physical violence. By being exposed to death and violence at a very young age sometimes leaves the person in a desensitized way. You'll have an opportunity to learn of the abuse I suffered and the mental and physical abuse both my mother and I suffered. I challenge anyone that reads this book to not learn from what they've read and not to be more vigilant in making sure that there children are safe and not too have too wear a self conscious mask each morning and every night. The events which is spoken off is true and may be painful to digest however I believe it also shows how one can change their life with the strength and belief in the lord. Please read and give whatever help you can to anyone that you may believe that's living within a mask. Enjoy.

UNEXPLAINABLE GHOST EXPERIENCES When we reflect over our lives, there are pivotal experiences that we keep in our memory. Some are good, some are bad, but there is something about the experience that sticks to our memory banks as if the memory happened yesterday. We all have these memories, and in some strange way, we store these images in our minds and catalog the emotion. This journey starts when I was about five years old. That's when I started experiencing ghosts, paranormal, supernatural and continues into the present day. Most of my experiences were shared with other people in my family. I realize now the importance of sharing these experiences so that other people can relate, learn, and grow from mutual experiences. As I began to write this work, I would share the many episodes with my family. Some we laughed about, others we hope we never go through again, but the unanimous consent was that everyone still, to this day, could remember each event. We all had/have a different perspective, but despite our many views, many questions remain the same. Some like where these spirits good, or did they intend to do harm? These questions will be left up to you. My goal is to share what I have lived with my entire life. My hope is that as I present the chapters of these experiences so that we might learn
