know. Well, that’s what happened to me, Eliza, and my classmates from London Intermediate Academy. We never expected this to happen as it did, but one day the soldiers rushed the boys and girls on separate airplanes and set us off. That day I was separated from my family, my brother Ralph and my best friend Simon. Many never made it because of a crash caused by enemy fire, and others landed on the island wounded and sick.

(1999). Real boys: Rescuing our sons from the myths of boyhood.
