Summary "Sarfraz Manzoor was two years old when he emigrated from Pakistan to Britain in 1974. He spent his teenage years in a constant battle, trying to reconcile being both British and Muslim, trying to fit in at school and at home. But when his best friend introduced him to the music of Bruce Springsteen at age sixteen, his life changed completely. From the moment Manzoor heard the opening lines to 'The River,' Springsteen became his personal muse, a lens through which he was able to view the rest of his life."-- back cover.
