Lost in Transit

This book is based on a true story about one man's epic journey through life's setbacks and triumphs. Names have been changed to protect the people concerned, and some places where the action occurred have been altered.

The story starts by describing how Jack Smith’s gaunt twisted face and his slim five foot nine inch sagging and stooped frame, mirrors the sad, tired, dowdy office in which he sits, confused. Why is he sat in such a dowdy room about to talk about his private life to a man he's never even met before, why does he have so many unanswered questions spinning around inside his head, and why are the odds always stacked against him?

To discover how Jack came to be at this low point in his life, the story goes back fifty years in time, to a period just after WWII, and takes us on a journey to the opposite side of the world.

Will Jack survive the continuous turmoil that life throws at him? Will his questions ever be answered? Will he ever find true love and happiness? Only the time it takes to read this book will tell.
