Not my little Joseph is one man's journey of discovery. From early years struggling to find a place in the world and fit in, to experiments with drugs of all kinds, encounters with the law at every turn, friendships and enemies built around the drug and criminal world and young offender institutes and an unlikely alliance with a crime family. But through all upheavals there was always one ever present, Joseph Spencer's doting mum. Never failing to see the good in her only son, never turning her back when it seems she should have, she is a testament to a mums unflinching love. Travelling on a journey with Joe through his fifty years and a complete turnaround of lifestyle and a fight against cancer. No punches are pulled in a gritty but somehow humorous tale of a life lived and lessons learned the hard way.
