Story4.5 out of 5 stars 15
"Bunny told me there were secrets about me that she would take to the grave, secrets that no one would ever hear, including me...." Tom Wilson always felt something wasn't quite right.

It is surprisingly light on music and songwriting and centres on Tom's personal and family life.
And what a life.
Tom's unpretentious delivery make it an authentic tale of a life on the wrong side of the tracks in one of Canada's most unglamourous towns.
You will laugh and you will cry, and you will hear about lives in Canada that rarely get told. Disabled war vets. First Nations. The addicted.
Hopefully Tom will write a sequel with more road stories .
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
