À propos de cet audio

 "I'm scared and scarred but I’ve survived"

Tom Wilson was raised in the rough-and-tumble world of Hamilton—Steeltown— in the company of World War II vets, factory workers, fall-guy wrestlers and the deeply guarded secrets kept by his parents, Bunny and George. For decades Tom carved out a life for himself in shadows. He built an international music career and became a father, he battled demons and addiction, and he waited, hoping for the lies to cease and the truth to emerge. It would. And when it did, it would sweep up the St. Lawrence River to the Mohawk reserves of Quebec, on to the heights of the Manhattan skyline.
With a rare gift for storytelling and an astonishing story to tell, Tom writes with unflinching honesty and extraordinary compassion about his search for the truth. It's a story about scars, about the ones that hurt us, and the ones that make us who we are.

From Beautiful Scars:

Even as a kid my existence as the son of Bunny and George Wilson seemed far-fetched to me. When I went over it in my head, none of it added up. The other kids on East 36th Street in Hamilton used to tell me stories of their mothers being pregnant and their newborn siblings coming home from the hospital. Nobody ever talked about Bunny's and my return from the hospital. In my mind my birth was like the nativity, only with gnarly dogs and dirty snow and a chipped picket fence and old blind people with short tempers and dim lights, ashtrays full of Export Plain cigarette butts and bottles of rum.
Once, when I was about four, I asked Bunny, "How come I don't look anything like you and George? How come you are old and the other moms are young?"
"There are secrets I know about you that I’ll take to my grave," she responded. And that pretty well finished that. Bunny built up a wall to protect her secrets, and as a result I built a wall to protect myself. Créateurs autochtones Divertissement et célébrités Musique Célébrité Sports Indigenous Authors

I’m sure this would have been harder to write if Bunny were still alive. Still, it was an important story of the life of a musician who endured nearly a lifetime screen from his birth identity and the story of his origins. He’s truthful in his Mohawk identity in stating that he basically grew up as a white man but that he was on his way to finding his place in his biological family and community

His storytelling stood out the most

I loved the way the author narrates his story in his own words..... the way he describes his childhood, takes me back to my youth. His descriptive manner makes you feel like you could really see everything that he relates in his book. Glad he was able to find his roots. Everyone deserves to know where they come from; what their real story is. Thanks for sharing yours!!

An enlightening story that makes one really think of where they come from....
