About the Book
He Called Me By My Name is the combination of two books: Book One: Over the Next Hill and Book Two: Courage and Hope. These books were written over an extended period: between the late '80s and 1998 for Book One and in 20052006 for Book Two.
Book One: Over the Next Hill is the story of my life from my birth in Adria, Italy, to 1997 when our family left far north Queensland to find a home in New South Wales. The book relates the story of my childhood dreams and troubles, my travels and my struggle to find the meaning of my life.
Book Two: Courage and Hope tells the story of our life in Lismore, both as parents and as a couple whose children have left home.
Having achieved some of the purposes related in Book One: Over the Next Hill, I relate what happens in our family and how I came to terms with many of the questions of my youth.
About the Author
As a migrant to Australia, married to an Australian, I wrote this continuation of my autobiography from 1997, when we moved from far north Queensland to northern NSW. At present Angela and I live in Lismore. Our three children are grown up and are living in Sydney.
