"I hope I am not in it..." So here it is: 'Beautifully Mundane', the story of David Banks, husband, father, normal everyday guy who is never going to change the world, or climb a mountain, or even go into space, but through whose eyes we can see that there is joy to be had in the normal complexities of everyday life.
