Inhaltsangabe

Escape from hell is the story of a teenage boy who has been cruelly and systematically belted by his father for little or no reason. He decides to leave home on his ancient bicycle towing a homemade trailer containing all his worldly belongings. He leaves home in the middle of the night and rides a few miles before the pain from his still bleeding belt wounds force him to rest. He has no safe haven to go to and distance is going to be his only ally.
He's resting in the rear parking area of a 24 hr. roadhouse in pouring rain when a sudden impulse shows him a method of escape. He takes the plunge and arrives at another 24 hr. roadhouse over 200 miles away where he begins to make a new home for himself using the cooking skills taught by his mother and farming skills learned from his brutal father. He was used to working long hard hours in the harvest elds beside his father and he was astute enough to capitalize on the skills learned along the way. He made himself useful as a kitchen hand in
the cafe.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Brian O'Donnell was born in Tyneside... the middle one of five brothers, whose love of books was encouraged by their parents, Jean and Jerry. After leaving secondary modern school, he took up an engineering apprenticeship which involved a spell in London. From there, he joined the Merchant Navy sailing to the Persian Gulf and India, and shuttled between New York and the Caribbean Gulf. He returned home but had a tough time finding steady work, so he enrolled as a mature student at Northumbria University, graduated with honours, and assumed a teaching post in Newcastle. An illness forced his premature retirement, so he started a less stressful job as a market researcher. He is married to the best smile in Tyneside and has twin boys and a daughter.
