A Lad from Liverpool is a collection of life stories about a boy growing up in a large, poor, happy family and having rather a good time of it all. His journey takes us from the streets of wartime Liverpool, England to the sidewalks of 21st century New York, through the failures and successes in his various careers and the grief and joy in two long marriages. It is a story about taking risks, enduring loss, starting over and above all, having fun.
