About this listen

Born into a life of crime, Peter's earliest memories were shaped by the chaos of his father's criminal exploits. Torn from home to home and running from heist to heist, his childhood was marked by violence, betrayal and upheaval.

In this compelling memoir, Peter exposes the truth of his turbulent upbringing. As the youngest son of Clarence 'Clarry' Norris, a notorious bank robber, Peter recounts the powerful love and loyalty that bound him to his father, creating a profound inner struggle between the allure of the underworld and the desire for normalcy.

Faced with a heart-wrenching decision at just 12 years old, Peter had to choose between following his father's criminal path or seizing a lifeline. The memoir moves from the underbelly of 1970s Sydney to the outskirts of Melbourne, highlighting a troubling chapter in Australian history when Peter and other innocent children were sent to abusive institutions.

Ultimately, Peter rose from the ruins of his troubled past, embarking on a remarkable journey of self-discovery and growth. He defied the odds to become a successful CEO, world-class athlete and motivational speaker.

This audiobook contains accounts of traumatic events which may be distressing for some listeners.

'Above all else, your book is beautifully written. I shed a few tears at the end; it's a very different true crime book.' (Meshel Laurie, Australian True Crime Podcast)
