-
When Luke Pomery was just nine years old, he and his older siblings, his mother and half-sister took an epic bus journey to his new home - a 450,000-acre sheep station outside Meekatharra, just south of the Great Sandy Desert in Western Australia. There, the achingly hard work of helping to run a sheep station began. When Luke was twelve years old, he was sent to boarding school several hundred kilometres away. At sixteen, Luke was introduced to marijuana and by the time he turned eighteen, he was drinking and living on the fringes - until he decided to return to South Australia in 2002, when he was twenty-seven. Just six years later, Luke was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, which prompted him to review his life. Lifestyle Choices is an engaging and inspirational story that chronicles the author's extraordinary journey and the challenges he has overcome. -- Back cover.
