Neil White was once was a man who lived by appearances - he owned expensive cars and a big house and worked at glossy magazines. When his bank balance couldn't keep up with his lifestyle, he started kiting - illegally depositing and drawing cheques between his two accounts. He got caught and was sent to prison. The experience transformed him completely: the man who lived to impress became a man who could look beyond the surface of things in order to tap into the deeper, more important issues that run our lives. A journey which combines a slice of history with self-discovery, In the Sanctuary of Outcasts is both beautifully written and utterly compelling.
