At the age of 21, James Dack found himself alone and responsible for raising his younger brother Stephen when their loving mother lost a long battle with cancer. Long estranged from their abusive and alcoholic father, the pair were soon homeless and sleeping on the floor of the gym at the local Police Citizens Youth Club.This is the powerful story of the brothers struggle to survive the often brutal culture of theinner-city public housing estates they called home and find their places in the world James as a real estate millionaire and Steve, after battling alcoholism, as a criminal lawyer without going far from the neighbourhood that shaped them. It s also a story of loyalty, to each other, their heartland Woolloomooloo in Sydney, and most of all, to the memory of their mother whose love was always the compass that ensured they kept their bearings.Stephen became a professional boxer and street sweeper to support his law studies. James obtained work as a hospital orderly to keep his brother at school, but soon found some influential mentors. Until recently, both brothers spent much of their time providing support to young people growing up in difficult circumstances. That was until Stephen found the challenges impossible to beat.
