Inside Out: You Can Take the Boy out of Peckham....

I am a loving caring 41 Year old Father of two, who after having spent the first 30 years of my life navigating my way through the often perilous crime ridden streets of South East London and often ending up on the wrong side of the law, have decided to share some of my most dangerous, terrifying, funny and Romantic experiences by writing this book. I had a good education and come from a very close family. All though my mother was a very loving, balanced, principled, quite strict and very wise parent inside the home, the streets of Peckham were full of temptation and opportunity for a young lad, which often meant bending the rules. I was always taught manners and politeness and most of all to respect authority and my elders, but when on the streets or out and about with my mates, I could also be a foul mouthed jack the lad. I have learnt many of life’s lessons and hard knocks over the years and now consider myself to be a wise man due to those reasons. In this book I aim to give an insight into how circumstances of certain societies and predicaments can play a big role in shaping a person’s character. I am confident that many of the readers will be able to empathise with my story, if not at least gain an understanding of particular personality’s.
