The writer invites the reader to join him in tracing his life story from the earliest recollection at two years of age through to retirement. It describes a traumatic experience, a number of trials and unexpected and unwanted early responsibilities throughout his teenage years. There were times of heartache and disenchantment suffered through witnessing his siblings being torn apart through his mother's extreme pride and almost fatal obsession. Then in his late twenties, having the courage to emigrate with his own young family to Canada to escape a depressive and negative environment that seemed to feed on itself. They left the security of a home and a good job for an unfamiliar lifestyle in Canada. This proved to be the right decision, as changes occurred that sent them on an incredible journey full of opportunities and challenges that they could not have imagined. The life in their adopted country has exceeded their dreams.
Peter Webb grew up in England with five other siblings during the Second World War. During the Blitz on London the government recommended evacuation out of the target area, so he with two brothers and a sister moved to North Wales. They returned to their home in Upminster after the firestorm was over. At eighteen he served in Her Majesty's Royal Navy during the Suez crisis. At twenty-seven he emigrated with his young family to Canada in 1964 and six years later he and his family adopted Canada as their permanent home and became Canadian Citizens. This was the beginning of a journey that exceeded their dreams. Rainbows End is his fourth book that captures this amazing journey through life to retirement when he began his long promised hobby of writing novels.
