About this listen

We all come to crossroads in our lives where a step in one direction or another can dictate the rest of our time on the planet. It can happen just once for some, or like Stephen and his son Terry, it can happen often and each time they make a choice, they have half a chance to make the right one.

If it is wrong then the next choice, even though it may be fueled by alcohol or drugs, may be a little more complex, and so it goes, life unfolds, and we take what we get.

Half a Chance is just one such story of a family influenced by everything that was Australia from the 1950s through to the 1970s. The good and the bad, the ecstatic highs and the dreadful lows, to survive all this is their challenge as life goes on.

I kind of enjoyed the story but the narration and production were so amateurish compared to the usual Audible Experience I fear some listeners will be disappointed.
