01 / THE BOOK
Born into heartbreak.
Before Thomas Murphy took his first breath, tragedy had already changed the course of his life.
His father’s life was cut short in a devastating motorcycle accident before Thomas was born, leaving an absence that would shape everything that followed.
Growing up on the streets of Liverpool, Thomas searched for identity in a world that offered little comfort and even fewer chances. His journey led through pain and grief, a fatal car accident that claimed two innocent lives, and the cold reality of prison walls.
Time is his account of what happened — and proof that, even from the darkest beginnings, light can still be found.
Survival
Liverpool streets, grief and choices that carried a devastating cost.
Redemption
The courage to confront the past and find a way towards the light.
