I Never Called Him Bobby

It all started with a simple inquiry: "Have you seen my friend Barry? His mum said he might come here." It ended with a life changed, a life that may have been; robbed and stolen.

How could the selfish actions of one man have such devastating effect?

It is said that one man can do very little to effect change, but in a small London neighbourhood that Man Behind The Counter Of The Rainbow Variety proved lives can be changed, some irrevocably.

Not since Harper Lee's book, To Kill A Mockingbird, has there been such a profound chronicle of injustice as what is to be found in I Never Called Him Bobby. The fact that it is a true story, not some bastardized Hollywood invention or whitewashed version of the truth, makes it all the more powerful and dynamic. It is the story of one man's struggle to face the past, the fear and guilt, ignorance and scorn, and shame that Society forces upon so many men and women, boys and girls, making them suffer in silence. This is a definite breaking of the silence that must be heard.

I Never Called Him Bobby is an emotional roller coaster ride that brings smiles and laughter, and tears and, in the end, understanding and an awakening to what is happening every minute of every day. It is a masterful telling of a story that needs to be told and read.
