Description
Benji's autobiography of childhood neglect and bullying is told simply with compassion and poignancy. At a time when most school leavers are embarking on a future of freedom and excitement, the author chose to protect the only family he felt he had and became the sole guardian of his younger brother. With no home and no support from his socially inept father and his drug addict sister, he relates the years of emotional deprivation and abandoned dreams with courage and honesty. A trip to the Philippines to meet his mother's family eventually assists him in laying his personal demons to rest. Tough Aint Enough will inspire all. Benji's story assures us that it is possible to overcome all sorts of problems, the importance of working through your issues and admitting human frailty. No one is tough enough.
