Wrongful incarceration, childhood abuse and deprivation couldn't
break Paul Wilson's indomitable spirit, but survival means an
endless battle against the system that torments him. Paul Wilson
was a fifth generation, native-born white Australian, and a stolen
child. Bureaucrats stole him twice. So-called 'women of God' and a
misguided carer stole his identity, his heritage, and his
self-respect. Highlighting the terrible consequences of flawed
Government policies, misguided decisions by 'pencil-pushers', and
cruelty and child abuse, "The Pencil Case" is a story you will read
between tears and fits of rage. Journey into the home and lives of
a battling Aussie bush family and weep over cruel injustice that
breaks a mother's heart and kills a father's soul. Witness child
abuse and deprivation in an almost Dickensian world. Meet foster
parents whose dedication and caring gives orphans and waifs hope
for a future. Then follow Paul Wilson's struggle through adult
life, sharing his and his family's pains and joys. Celebrate his
triumphs; mourn his foolishness; admire his strength and courage as
he fights continuing injustice, haunted by demons from his past and
nursing an insatiable thirst for revenge. Confronting, heart
wrenching, yet heart-warming, this is a story that illustrates the
beauty and strength of the human spirit. It's a story about
inspiration and triumph. Ultimately, it's a story about the power
of family love.
