Description
A raw and unflinching account of life on the edge, Sticks and Stones is a memoir that strips away the glamour to reveal the darker side of Bristol. Paul Scrase's story is one of crime, prostitution, and poverty, but also of redemption and the human spirit. This is a book that challenges the reader to confront the harsh realities of a city that prides itself on its creativity and green ethos. Scrase's story is a complex and often shocking portrayal of a world that exists alongside the city's vibrant cultural scene. It is a world of grinding poverty, violence, and exploitation, but also of resilience and survival. Through Scrase's eyes, we see a city that is both familiar and unknown, a place where the glamour of the city's creative quarter hides a darker truth. This is a book that will leave you with a newfound understanding of the city and its inhabitants, and a deeper appreciation for the complexities of human nature.
