{"product_id":"certainly-not-a-celebrity-9781398476165","title":"Certainly Not a Celebrity","description":"This heart-warming and inspiring story follows the journey of David, a working-class lad from Lakemba who, despite getting into mischief and facing life s many challenges, emerged on the other side stronger than ever. From moments like coaching an under-nines soccer team alongside his manager Jack who told concerned parents, If you have any complaints, come to me, not David. I ve had injuries to my spine, and my surgeon warned me, Operating on you could make you a quadriplegic, David. Yet his prediction that the pain would ease every ten years has been spot on. Today, it s nothing to dealing with setbacks like buying a courier run from Nu Way Transport Newcastle, only to return from Christmas holidays to find the factory burned down by an arsonist, David s life has been a rollercoaster. After starting his own courier business, sometimes earning as little as five dollars a day, and navigating the ups and downs of the Australian mining boom, David spent 14 years travelling for months at a time before retiring at fifty-nine to Atlantis on the Gold Coast. However, retirement brought a new challenge: bowel cancer. After being 21 months cancer-free, the disease returned and spread to his lungs stage four. Yet, through it all, David s resilience has never wavered. This is more than just his story; it s an inspiration to cancer sufferers and a testament to the power of perseverance in the face of life s toughest battles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Austin Macauley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/10\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781398476165\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 274\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.58d","brand":"David Robinson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52197280776373,"sku":"9781398476165","price":30.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_9308a7ca-345e-4273-986a-ed2264490b50.jpg?v=1769622956","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/certainly-not-a-celebrity-9781398476165","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
