The Hood

About the Book

This marvelous autobiography chronicles the unbelievable life of its author from his troubled childhood in Scotland through his glorious golden years in Whistler to his traumatic fall from grace in Vancouver, Canada. This magnificent manuscript is a true, factual real-life story that highlights and challenges pretty much everything we all take for granted in our modern lifestyles. Through his incredible journey, the author not only gives a blow-by-blow narrative of his roller-coaster life but also, from these experiences, presents a whole different perspective on this thing we all call life. It really is an astonishing story that the very few that have heard it compelled him to write as it could not only become an inspirational self-help book for those experiencing similar struggles in their own life but also a drastic warning of what can really happen in a heartbeat to anyone, anywhere, anytime on this planet we call home. Put simply, this is a phenomenal must-read autobiography novel that no matter who you are—male or female, rich or poor, sick or healthy, CEO or garbage collector—yes, everyone should read. From his genuinely sensational life story, Andrew explores the very core of our civilization and presents a very different perspective on what we all now use as measures of success like power, wealth, must-have toys, etc. His trials and tribulations, that simply have to be read to be believed, offer a very different alternative course for humanity to gain what we all privately seek deep down inside us all, namely acceptance, friendship, confidence, faith, hope, true happiness, and pure love, which in reality fly in the face of the more materialistic goals. But rather than being some naive, idealistic, ivory tower novel, everything is based on the real world. It is truly a monumental masterpiece that even the Hollywood scriptwriters would have a hard time of dreaming up. A truly wonderful book for the ages, and if it doesn’t change the world, it might just change your world.

About the Author

Born and raised in Aberdeen, Scotland, Andrew is the second son of three in the middle-class Hunter family and attended Robert Gordon’s College, a private all-boys school. After a troubled childhood, he became the only son to graduate with a business-studies upper-second-class honours degree and Chartered Institute of Marketing diploma specialization from the university of the same name. After marrying the love of his life and opening his own cutting-edge sports retail store, Andrew accepted the position of manager of snowboard operations for Whistler Mountain and emigrated with his wife, and their newborn daughter, to British Columbia, Canada, in 1995. It was here that his amazing and completely unpredictable life really unfolded and laid the foundations of this truly remarkable novel. All Andrew seeks now is forgiveness for his many demons and relief from their horrendously deep scars. Maybe, just maybe, by telling his story through appropriate media, he can give back to the community that both condemned and saved him. His to-hell-and-back story might be the inspiration needed by anyone who is struggling in a very dark place, as it proves you can never, ever give up. Nothing is impossible.
