Sick of being treated like a foreigner in his home country of Madagascar, Fanoo decides to emigrate to Australia with his family in the quest for freedom and a chance to pursue his dreams. It was an adventure far beyond anything he could have imagined. A thrilling journey full of perilous situations that combine uncertainty and despair with hope and miracles.

Arriving in Australia, things did not seem promising and Fanoo regrets his move. Then, when things seem like they can't get any worse, he suffers a work related accident that lands him in the hospital, rendering him unfit for physical work.

Through it all, however, Fanoo powers through with unwavering faith and support from his family and true friends, and life finally opens the door to his dreams.

Black Candy is the sincere and touching story of a man who wanted more from life than what society had in store for him and his family. It is a celebration of faith and friendship, a guide to reinventing yourself through change, and an experience of the unique and vibrant lifestyle of Northern Australia.


Industry Reviews

"At first, I thought it was a collection of short stories until it dawned on me that it's a collection of significant events that encompassed the struggle of a immigrant. It's a story about ambition, the bravery to push through with it, and the difficulties that Black Candy faced. It is well-written. It was almost diary-like to me. The author was able to set the tone of the story in a way that it was easy for the reader to empathise with him. You can almost hear the calm in his voice. The desperation. The frustration. The resistance to give up. Each chapter served as a catalyst for greater things that are yet to come for all of the characters. The story has its heavy moments, moments when the reader can sigh along with Black Candy, It touched on so many realities in someone's life that it was so easy to put oneself in Black Candy's shoes." Dawn, Dubai.

"Black Candy is an ultimate Change Management case study, perfectly disguised in a family adventure story. It is a must read for those who are looking for a fresh start." Kary Oberbrunner, author of Your Secret Name, The Deeper Path, Day Job to Dream Job, and The Elixir Project.

"This is an informative primer for those who want to migrate to Australia from a country of entirely different demographics... A proud moment for all migrants in the Northern Territory." Dr Edwin Lourdes Joseph JP, President of Multicultural Council of the Northern Territory (MCNT).

"This book is a very detailed and good depiction of the many expectations and challenges associated with moving to a new country. I could relate strongly to some of your stories, having moved countries myself!" Madeleine Faught, Chair of Rainforest Rescue, NSW, Australia.

"An inspirational book that traces a man that never say No to adverse circumstances because he knows he can overcome the odds." Mr Sungkheng Er, Singapore.

"A charming account ..." Kathryn, Australia.

"Your story is just great" Belinda, Nigeria.

"So inspirational...!" Roxy, USA.
