The Pencil Case

A hit on the head with a pencil case began Paul Wilson's lifelong battle against the system and the pencil-pushers who tormented him... but nothing could break his indomitable spirit.

Paul was a fifth generation, native-born white Australian, and a stolen child. Bureaucrats stole him twice. So-called women of God and a misguided carer stole his identity, his heritage and his self-respect.

Journey into the home and lives of a battling Aussie bush family and weep over cruel injustice that breaks a mothers heart and kills a fathers soul. Witness child abuse and deprivation in an almost Dickensian world. Meet foster parents whose dedication and caring gives orphans and waifs hope for a future. Follow Pauls struggle through adult life, sharing his and his familys pains and joys. Celebrate his triumphs. Mourn his foolishness. Admire his strength and courage as he fights continuing injustice, haunted by demons from his past and nursing an insatiable thirst for revenge.
A story that illustrates the beauty and strength of the human spirit and the power of family love.
