Wrongful incarceration, childhood abuse and deprivation couldn’t break Paul Wilson’s indomitable spirit, but survival means an endless battle against the system that torments him. Paul Wilson was a fifth generation, native-born white Australian, and a stolen child. Bureaucrats stole him twice. So-called ‘women of God’ and a misguided carer stole his identity, his heritage, and his self-respect. Highlighting the terrible consequences of flawed Government policies, misguided decisions by ‘pencil-pushers’, and cruelty and child abuse, The Pencil Case is a story you will read between tears and fits of rage. Journey into the home and lives of a battling Aussie bush family and weep over cruel injustice that breaks a mother’s heart and kills a father’s soul. Witness child abuse and deprivation in an almost Dickensian world. Meet foster parents whose dedication and caring gives orphans and waifs hope for a future. Then follow Paul Wilson’s struggle through adult life, sharing his and his family’s pains and joys. Celebrate his triumphs; mourn his foolishness; admire his strength and courage as he fights continuing injustice, haunted by demons from his past and nursing an insatiable thirst for revenge. Confronting, heart wrenching, yet heart-warming, this is a story that illustrates the beauty and strength of the human spirit. It’s a story about inspiration and triumph. Ultimately, it’s a story about the power of family love.
