Living an Uncertain Life

From war child to wisdom during 90 years of active living, Eric Kitchen deals with death and disaster, and a whole lot in between. Much history of the world, which the family lived through, is woven through these pages. The book Future Shock, by Alvin Toffler, influenced Eric's thinking at the time. It warned about the rate of change and humankind's inability to keep pace. Eric likened life to being on a fast-moving, accelerating train and looking back along the track, with several branches ahead unseen or untested. Written in an easy-to-read style, able to be picked up and put down, his story outlines a lifetime of experiences, good and bad, which shows the will to live and how the human spirit prevails. Eric considers the following words ascribed to Sir Winston Churchill, who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1953: When I look back on all these worries, I remember the story of the old man who said on his deathbed that he had had a lot of trouble in his life, most of which had never happened. Eric also realised through the process of writing this book that the only constant in life is change itself.
