No man's land explores the issues of custody, gender bias in the
court system and the difficulties and issues of single parenting.
Central to the book is the true story of a single father. His world
as he knew it ceased to exist when his pregnant wife fled to
another state with his three minor children. The court system did
little to help him and for a while it seemed she got away with it.
He was faced with three options. He could just let her have her way
with the possibility of never seeing his children again. He could
let them remain in the new state and fight for visitation. With
great risk to himself, he could fight for his children. He chose
the latter. He secured their return and subsequently got custody of
them. A few weeks after, he was also raising his newborn baby.
Single fatherhood was hard on its own but, as though it was not
enough, he faced continual attacks from his estranged wife, a
biased justice system and an uncaring supervisor at work. He
eventually came to the point of giving up the very thing he had
fought so hard for. He found out that when life suddenly becomes
chaotic it is hard and sometimes impossible to find the balance in
order to continue moving forward. For him balance came when he
learnt to give up his expectations and to look for hope in God and
faith in areas previously unexplored. As he willingly gave up life
as he knew it and settled down to enjoying a new life and
experiences with his children and with his faith in God, only then
did he begin to take control of his life even if he had to do it in
No Man's Land.
