Coles Same Red Dirt: A Comical Memoir at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
When as a young man Pat Conrad gave up a good job and left the United States in search of greener pastures in Australia, he didn't know what he would find--or even if he would come back at all. During the next thirteen months, his freewheeling spirit and thirst for adventure brought him in contact with a parade of unforgettable characters. With refreshing honesty and a keen wit, Same Red Dirt recounts Pat's experiences working at Sydney's infamous Callan Park Mental Hospital, where he spent time among some of the world's most criminally insane; his escape to the sandy beaches near Sydney; his hair-raising experiences down the red dirt roads of Australia's rugged Outback; and his series of unusual jobs as he made his way throughout the country. In this "R-rated Christian memoir," Pat shares how his bad choices along the way, and his desire to fill a hole in his heart, led to a major change in his life.
