This is a biographical novel. It is written from the pen of an experienced social worker, driven by compassion and empathy, who embarked on the migration trail with too many dreams and goals to achieve. However, no reader would remain unmoved and not share the long and often traumatic journey of the child labourer's do-or-die commitment. This led him to join the British Army, travel to India, failing to return home by spending the rest of his life in England in the pursuit of self-fulfilment. Then he decided to revisit the small island of Rodrigues for the unfinished research task.
