No Love No Bond

An Autobiography of Christopher Duncan (author of A Man Of Few Words) In this gripping tale of resilience, against all odds, No Love - No Bond, delves into the depths of human struggle, exploring the profound impact of a fractured upbringing on one person's journey to find his true family roots, the elusive embrace of unconditional love and his place in the world.

In the shadows of a family tainted by dark secrets and forbidden connections, Christopher emerges into a world that never offered him the warmth of love. Born of an unspeakable union and a marriage of convenience, he bears the burden of his lineage - a jigsaw of half truths, lies and whispered tales that casts a long haunting shadow over the rest of his life.

HJ, his so-called father, is a master manipulator with a heart as cold as steel and becomes the architect of his torment whilst his mother shamefully stands by and offers him no love or reassurance. Subjected to psychological cruelty and emotional detachment from all the family, each day is a battle for survival as Christopher strives to carve out a semblance of identity in a world that seems determined to deny him that very right.
