'Sleezy the Fox' is a book of four stories about the overarching theme
of 'second chances'. On the surface it deals with the immigration of a
married couple and their seven children into a strange country, the
bullying of neighbours, the ostracizing of offenders from the community
as a whole and the alienation that often exists between man and wild
beast and beast and wild man! Each of us shall experience or perpetrate
some wrong in our lives. At the critical stage of reconciliation and
healing, it is vitally important that we are able to give others and
ourselves the benefit of a 'second chance'. And if you are like I used
to be growing up, you may need to receive a 'second chance' many times
before you eventually get it right.
