After an early start as a bright boy in the eastern Bay of Plenty, nurtured by his reo Māori-speaking grandparents, Timoti's life changed sharply when his mother took custody of him when he was six. He survived abuse, state care, gangs, and prison, his life marked by trauma and pain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy fourteen, he was behind bars. By twenty, he'd crossed the Tasman, trying to leave his past behind. But it was a moment in a prison cell - a glimpse of blue sky - that sparked a life-altering question: What if this isn't all there is?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThrough grit and an unyielding drive for justice, Timoti transformed his life. He returned to Aotearoa, became a paramedic and, after facing racism and an unsupported manslaughter charge that nearly derailed his life, became a medical student in his fifties. Timoti is now a fully qualified doctor - proof that brilliance can come from anywhere, and that our society must change to allow it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA powerful, confronting memoir of injustice, identity, and the cost of lost potential, \u003ci\u003eThe Unlikely Doctor\u003c\/i\u003e is not just Timoti's story - it is every child's. Because when we remove the barriers for success, we don't just help individuals - we help reshape a nation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46500147396844,"sku":"9781991006882","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781991006882.jpg?v=1748571163"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/timoti-te-moke.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
