Description
The honest, explicit and extraordinary memoir of Edward Charles Featherstone - Englishman, Businessman, Polo Player and Combat Pilot - that reveals an astonishing account of life lived with passion and intensity
From the lush green fields of Berkshire's polo fields, through the ardours of military helicopter training, to the white heat of flying combat missions in the Middle East, Charles's journey is a riveting tale of privilege, peril, and profound personal transformation.
Raised amidst the traditions of English upper-class society, Charles's life takes an unexpected turn when he embarks on a forbidden, intoxicating affair. This passionate relationship not only challenges societal norms but also ignites a deeply personal awakening that defines his transition into manhood.
Then as a combat helicopter pilot in the Royal Air Force, Charles faces the brutal realities of war and harrowing experiences that still live with him to this day.
My Rude Awakening is a candid, unfiltered account of a young man's sexual and emotional education. Prepare to be shocked, captivated, and inspired as the raw, unvarnished truth of this shy boy's unforgettable journey of love, loss, and survival into adulthood is revealed. This is only part one of Charles's incredible memoir-An Englishman's Journey—as the story of his life continues in part two, coming soon.
Warning!! This book contains game bird shooting and fox hunting content, references to suicide, PTSD, and (8%) explicit sexual content.

The first installment of Charles life story, names have been changed to protect identity and military operations.
From a young child, boarding school, RAF helicopter training, friendship and first love.
Explicit at times but not crude or gratuitous. A love with an older female that becomes central to Charles well being.
Posting overseas and a helicopter crash in enemy territory. Recovery and the way on to the next set of challenges in the next installment.
I look forward to reading the next book 📚
