Paradise at Last - Brian O'Donnell

This sequel to “Escape from Hell” is a fast moving saga in the life of a teenage boy trying to beat the odds and make a life for himself. He is thwarted by savage hail storms and floods whilst trying new ideas in horticulture. He is running a busy roadhouse/restaurant and trying to keep his savage father off his back. His early life was pure hell but now he becomes swamped in love and affection and admiration. He marries his senior cook and together they produce a brood of kids whilst extending the roadhouse business to eventually provide employment for some of their family and many disabled people.
