Growing up in the Dockerty household in the austere years after World War Two, with a father who reigned supreme as head of the household and a mother who was duty bound, didn't bode well for a middle child that was defiant and rebellious.
    My childhood moulded me into the teenager I became, looking for love in the wrong quarters, facing challenges through situations brought upon me and the choices I made that affected my life in my adult years.
    Although most of the places exist in my story, the names of the characters have been changed.
