It was a day like any other, crystal blue sky and warm summer air, as young Nathan Spiteri walked into a change room at a familiar public swimming pool and would experience a turn of events that would change his innocent life forever. In this powerful, and vulnerable memoir, Spiteri writes about the trauma of being brutally abused, groomed and guided by the actions and lies of a vicious pedophile.

This is a “coming-of-age story”, a tour-de-force that ushers the listener into the world of abuse and its aftermath, including the lessons learned through pain and self-examination. Spiteri offers a cautionary tale for all parents who are raising children and an anthem of survival for anyone who has suffered the difficulties of youth. In words poetic as well as raw and real, he paints a stunning masterpiece of triumph over tragedy; a powerful canvas of self-discovery, therapeutic growth, and self-love. In our search for a better life, Toy Cars proves that love and healing are possible.
