A Boy From Serendib PDF Download

This wonderful and enchanting novelized memoir tells the true story of a boy from Sri Lanka, set in the seventies against the backdrop of prevailing Cold War politics, Islamic uprisings and Communistic revolutions. The coming of age stories transpire across Sri Lanka, India, and Pakistan. His story is elevating, fascinating, traumatic, thrilling and inspiring. His misadventure began when he was just an infant and throughout his life it took treacherous turns. Every turn was an attack on his masculinity. He was taught to be submissive and compassionate like Jesus, so he never fought back. His coming of age in the midst of the prevailing culture, racism, politics and religions in the world set loftier challenges. The painful incidents that nearly took his existence changed him into an empathetic, caring, and a powerful boy. Forced to face life alone he conquered fears, battled violence, endured sexual abuse, and unwarranted guilt with his beautiful smile. In every moment of hopelessness, he serendipitously saw the spark of hope. Sometimes a win, sometimes a draw, sometimes a loss. Either he would heal or crumble. Now he would have to claw his way out of the darkness inch-by-inch into the light.
