    About this ebook

    Born into harshness and born into suffering, a warrior’s soul struggles to keep true to himself. A soul born into modern times, trying to hold tightly onto that which is him, that which is beyond his pain, to see the real him. This is the story about a person who through the most difficult of environments finds the strength to stay true to himself, to stay true to the very essence of his soul. The years of life from birth to late teens are when the environment plays a major role in a person’s development, a soul’s growth. In this first book of an emotionally turbulent series, those first years of my life are expressed here. This book tells some of the story from my early years. It’s not the pain I want to show, but rather how I found the strength to go beyond that pain to embrace all that is good and loving about me. A person must be able to keep a clear focus on his/her actions, his/her abilities and, most importantly, on his/her true self throughout the most testing of times. This is my story; this is my testimony; this is how I found the strength to be myself.

    Royce Adam Smith

    The author, Royce Adam Smith, is a soul born into harshness. He is a person who, throughout his life, struggled with pain and suffering that came from outside sources closest to him. The pain came from those who were supposed to protect and love him. Royce Adam was born in 1969 in a New Zealand city called Auckland. He lived most of his life in Australia, arriving to stay in Australia at about six years of age. He always wanted to express his story in a way to show how the power of good is stronger than the power of bad. It is his hope that people who read this series of books will see how to find their own strength, their own strength to be themselves, the strength that is, and always will be, within each and every one of us.
