This evocative memoir sketches the dramatic first thirty-one years of baby boomer Granville Pillar. Afflicted from childhood with a debilitating speech disorder, he turns to a revolutionary therapy that synthesises with an unexpected new-found talent: singing.
After playing in pop bands in his native Northern Ireland, Granville soon embarks on a solo career that takes him to the far-flung reaches of southern Africa in his quest to become a star. He comes of age as a singer, relishes the entertainment lifestyle and finds love. But from being the catalyst in his healing, music becomes the fertile soil in which he sows the seeds of excess, which germinate into the beginnings of his downfall.
He pursues a college education and graduates as an electrical engineer, seeking more stability for himself and his new family. Then, while undergoing hospital treatment for a back injury, he comes face to face with his demons and experiences a Damascus Road moment that radically transforms his life.
By turns moving, funny and life-affirming, From Doing it My Way to Following His Way tells Granville's compelling story as he comes to learn where his true passions lie.
