Simon Smith grows up in New Zealand in the 60's and wants to become a priest instead of the accountant that he is qualified as. His best mate is Wayne Tangaroa who Simon met on the rugby field in unusual circumstances, challenges his white Catholic values against those of priests who have failed those same values.Simon is offered a study scholarship in Rome but first the pair must walk the 800km Camino de Santiago in Northern Spain to see whether it can be revived as an international walk to match what it was over 1,000 years ago. They walk with a compromised priest seeking salvation, a naïve priest who believes the doctrine of the church and a donkey. Issues of married priest, abortion, suicide and evolution are argued along with incidents that include finding Wayne's long lost uncle from the war in France bring them Muxia (The End of the World) where their world changes forever.

These are a few thoughts of a young rugby playing lad who became a cabbage in a few seconds. Felt inferior for 28 years on the day his left foot toes moved for the first time for 28 years. Ian's speech transformed and he became no longer inferior. Beyond belief my physical condition improves. I had not expected but my efforts to improve have been rewarded. My recovery is evidence that the human body is fantastic if given time!2011 - Flexicare machine increased my circulation. 2013 - Happy Feet - gentle exercise after hip operation2014 - Ultralieve Pro - ultrasound machine increased knee and ankle movement not completely and the slight back pain is still present. Is it my slow brain recovery, or have the machines helped my part recovery? The machines are all on the website. I wish you you to know about my continuing recovery to stay reasonably mobile, and about Headway Northampton a charity that helps similar victims to my self and relatives. You can help by purchasing Another World Post Head Trauma. Thank you for reading my poetry book!
