Bang! You're dead - Tom Pey

Bang! You're dead is a story about a man who, as a result of a childhood accident, was struck blind at the age of thirty–eight and robbed of everything that he had fought so hard all his life to achieve. 'The bottom line?' the doctor asked. 'Yes.' 'There's nothing we can do.' Those words plunged Tom, formerly a highly successful businessman, into a nightmare world in which he lost his job, his money and his self–esteem. Yet, eventually, Tom's inner strength wins through and, drawing on the homespun wisdom of his blind Aunt Lil and other memories from his childhood in rural Ireland, he is able to build a new and more meaningful life for himself and his family. Bang! You're dead is an inspiring tale of triumph over adversity that follows Tom's early commercial success, the agony of his struggle against fate and his overwhelming enthusiasm for the new challenges that the future will bring. Bang! You're dead is a tale of laughter, tears, joy and hope.
