Donny Paterson is an ordinary Aussie bloke - with an extraordinary story. After suffering depression and chronic injuries and beating substance addiction the former army engineer became a Third World hero who has mixed with some of the world's leading celebrities.
When the tsunami hit Asia on Boxing Day 2004 it claimed hundreds of thousands of lives - but saved Donny's. It led to a sequence of events that saw him become a saviour of a Sri Lankan village savaged by the tsunami; the most enduring character of an award-winning documentary movie to a Mediterranean penthouse guest of American actor Sean Penn during the Cannes film festival.
The father of well-known Newcastle Knights rugby league player Cory Paterson takes the reader inside his painful journey through life to a devastated place called Peraliya that the leading world aid organisations had forgotten. His efforts along with those of three fellow independent travelers he'd met by chance saw him called a 'God'. The events that followed are just as remarkable ... leaving you to wonder 'how could all this possibly have happened to one man?'
Rough diamond Donny is a real life portrait of the extraordinary hidden deep within many of us that usually lies dormant all our lives.
