To say that Benjamin Miller had been born under a lucky star would, on the surface, have been most ridiculous. Violently, physically abused throughout his early years near to the point of death was not a positive experience in any sense of the word. Then left at sixteen with no family, friends, or possessions--certainly would negate such am optimistic pronouncement. However, looking at his life as a whole, perhaps such was not quite the misnomer it appeared to be initially.
For through each chapter of his life, Ben survived a myriad of seemingly insurmountable problems whether it be escaping from a gang of ruthless Hell's Angels, overcoming a murder charge, or falling in love with his true soulmate. In fact, not only did he survive but he flourished; sweet satisfying victory was his in the end.
