He is an accomplished musician who plays many instruments, is a trained nurse and midwife, has worked as a flight nurse with the Royal Flying Doctor service in remote areas, and as a nursing academic.
With what some say is a serious learning difficulty, dyslexia, he struggled with conventional schooling, and has suffered the loss of three close friends. As a young adult, he found the key to living life to the full: you really can do anything you want to. You just have to find—not be told—what it is.
Now with four daughters, two of whom he has watched struggle with a condition he is so familiar with — dyslexia — Tim tells his story so his daughters and others realize the hidden secrets within an often misunderstood learning difficulty that just happens to be… an amazing asset.
In My Grandfather’s Garden is Tim’s first book, and these short stories, drawn from his book are a sampling of the wisdom he has found in the strangest places.view less
