This memoir reveals the key moments that shaped Noel’s work and outlook. Through honest reflection, he explores the challenges, breakthroughs, and lessons that continue to influence his life.
“Noel’s book reads like a beautiful poem to those who have turned adversity into resilience. It should be required reading for educators, youth workers and those who support people going through hard times. Not because the narrative follows the current fashion of encouraging people to see themselves as ‘victims’ with no real agency, but because Noel shows that getting back up after a fall is the key to living life to the full. Success is not linear and failure is rarely ever fatal.”
Educationalist, entrepreneur, and former foster kid.
