Inhalt:

Reaching Home is a real life adventure story of endurance in the face of adversity, hardship, hunger and depression. It is a story of triumph over adversity. Claudia Pop takes his readers across continents on an incredible journey, into areas in his adventurous life where he has faced, and beaten, a gambling addiction; stowed away in a sealed container for three weeks, facing certain death; been shot at by police and lived to tell the tale. Every day was a struggle when he was hired by thieves, chased by Border Police, imprisoned as an illegal immigrant, amongst other colourful adventures. Three weeks without a wash or shave, without food or water accustomed four stowaways to their strange appearance, but failed to prepare them for its effect on strangers, or the hard talking needed when they were mistaken for pirates! Claudia Pop shares poignant memories from his early life as a member of a large family in Romania at a time of radical change in that country. Readers will be fascinated by his journey across the world before his arrival in Ireland where he met his wife and framed his future. He contrasts his welcome in Ireland with that experienced in other countries. Today Claudia Pop is a happily married businessman, devoted to family and Christian values. This memoir is a must read in a fast changing world. Readers share a bittersweet glimpse of one man's struggles to reach home and find an identity through strongly felt Christian values. It cannot fail to move you - might even inspire you to change.
