Dean spent 40 years of his life labouring through impoverished childhood in an undeveloped third world era of Singapore to his twilight years, during which time he was fortunate enough to meet many who had the fortunes/misfortunes in their lives, whether through their own missteps or otherwise. These were willing prepared to share and readers will be able to empathise and benefit from the many trials, tribulations, joys and experiences of his contacts and network. This will definitely make it a compelling read.
