This is a story of a young black boy with an unmistakable Irish surname, who takes you on a journey of the first half of his life, living and growing up in a totally white middle-class neighbourhood.

This is a story of a young black boy with an unmistakable Irish surname, who takes you on a journey of the first half of his life, living and growing up in a totally white middle-class neighbourhood. When he starts school, he finds he is still the only black face; this doesn't change throughout all of his school years. The story passes from early years to teenage years, and into young adult life. The story begins with his earliest childhood memory as a three-year-old. Then it goes on to describe why his dad is his first hero, for whom this book was written. Still in short trousers, he goes on a trip overseas and talks of the place his parents call 'home', a thousand miles away from the place where he was born in Dulwich, London, England. The black boy is determined to have fun. He is preoccupied, like any other boy approaching teenage years, with music, cars, and girls. This is all that is important and his priority. That same boy is now reaching manhood, he is still having fun, but has strengthened those teenage priorities of music, cars, and girls. He is a young man, working for a living now and paying his own way. His philosophy has not changed: more music, faster cars, and older women. The music mentioned throughout this incredible journey can be previewed at BBOC.com About the Author Bryan O' Connor is a music industry veteran, having worked in the music business for over 25 years in the UK and USA.
