Title Details

When Caspar Walsh was three years old his father became his primary carer. But Caspar's father wasn't classic dad material. He robbed banks, he dealt drugs, and he made his living from deception and violence. He loved his son but not enough to change his criminal lifestyle. Despite all this, Caspar trusted him, loved him, and looked up to him. When he grew up, he wanted to be just like his dad. Caspar got what he wanted. This is the harrowing story of a wild childhood punctuated by drugs, violence, sexual abuse, and the frequent absences of a father in prison. It's the story of how Caspar inevitably became part of his father's world—doing drugs, dealing drugs, doing time. And how, eventually, as a young man, Caspar dragged himself out of the gutter, out of prison, and out of crime, and made the decision to rehabilitate himself and eventually to come full circle to work with offenders, help change the lives of others like him.
