A Cry In The Dark - Book Launch

“Given a choice, I would have dressed for the occasion. I dressed for every occasion, even nightmares. But this time… I was caught unawares… I was no longer in control.”

Terence never dreamt he would suffer a stroke. After all, didn’t strokes happen only to old people? Terence did not die, he survived. But there is a difference between just surviving and living “magnificently and beautifully”.

A Cry In The Dark tells of Terence’s adventures at living life to the full. He finds a fascinating world between cracks and crevices, befriends inhabitants in and along the Punggol Waterway. He strides through wide open spaces, stumbles down narrow dirt paths and finds home in the most surprising places. He emerges unscathed between rocks and hard places and courageously soars above the impossible. He discovers new perspectives of love and life and redefines limitations.

Terence’s story may have begun with a cry in the dark. But in the end, he discovers he has more strength, more courage, much more in himself than he can ever think or imagine. 

This book is written, and illustrated with Terence’s ‘non-functional’ right hand, for someone who is crying in the dark. Because there is always something to laugh about, even when one is crying.
