SET IN A HISTORIC INSTITUTION IN THE OUTSKIRTS OF SYDNEY...A work of fiction, where reality has been severely exaggerated with a mere occasional glimpse of the harsh truth. Donald has been unceremoniously thrust into the psychiatric hospital microcosm and while he is a smart, yet reluctant, anti-hero, trying to come to some sort of understanding of his odd situation; Donald didn't really think his life had been going so badly given this fresh perspective.

Its pages are scattered with ramblings about my mother's youth and my desire to give to her all that she has given to me yet realising it would take a billion lifetimes for me to even come close.
