    About this ebook

    A memoir that is as humorous as it is heartbreaking. The regrettable motivation for this book series is that it began life as a suicide note.

    Thirty years ago, Simon Williams left his home in Australia to seek his fortune and his true identity overseas in the USA. Simon was told he had no chance to survive the anxiety of separation or the hardships of moving to another country. However it is the cultural differences between his home country and the state of Florida that constantly bring a smile to his face.

    Interlaced with this coming of age story of a young man set free in the world is the revelation of the current tragedy in his life that is unfolding even as he writes down his memories of arriving in America.

    In a sane world, no human being should ever have to suffer with the grief that Simon must deal with.

    Simon Williams

    Simon Williams is an author who believes in the adage, write what you know. So, his two memoir series, TORN and WANDERLOST, encapsulate the three themes he knows best in this world, fear, regret, and inspiration.Life has not been fair to Simon, on many levels, but his honest and forthright openness on the issues that have dogged him as he found a determination to continue fighting for the one thing in his life that is most important to him and that still eludes him to this day.Born in a small, dry town in Australia, after residing in over 45 different locations, Simon now calls Miami, Florida home.His books are always tinged with sufficient humorous relief to keep uplifting readers as they must follow Simon through what have been some extremely harrowing exploits over his 50 years.

      Perfection

      Jun 9, 2020

      For years I could barely write a page. I thought I was becoming a virtuoso of smallness while the grief, which is wordless, occupied an ever-greater volume. My friend lived in the estates on the bad side of town. Let’s go to the forest, she said when
