'Forged from the Soul' is a powerful true-life story about a twenty eight year old man, (the authors son), killed by a drunk 'hit and run driver'. It paints a picture of his infectious enthusiasm for life and his deeply spiritual nature. An influential individual, crazy at times, loved by all who knew him. The story deepens into a powerfully compelling 'call to arms', as his parents and vibrant friends gather together, determined to honour his life. They find themselves caught up in a battle, as the hellish nightmare of tragedy unfolds. They may be unorthodox and their ways alternative, but they have no intention of giving up. Defiant of 'authority' and confident in their own self-imposed moral code, their actions speak out against injustice. The coldness of the criminal justice process provides a bleak backdrop as the balance of justice swings firmly towards the criminal. Many questions are raised, but most pertinent is whether our present drink driving laws are fit for purpose. The story provides a compelling argument to abolish the charge of 'Causing Death by Careless Driving whilst under the influence of Drink or Drugs' and instead sentence offenders with 'Manslaughter'.
