Tom Dusevic's memoir sweeps you into his vibrant childhood in 1970s Sydney. As a free-range kid navigating school, sports, and a rapidly changing world, he grapples with the push and pull of family, community, and his own burgeoning desires. But home is also a complex landscape, shaped by his parents' untold histories as post-war refugees from Croatia.

With warmth and wit, Dusevic paints a vivid portrait of a migrant family caught between two worlds. This is a story of discovery, resilience, and the search for belonging in a land that both embraces and challenges. Perfect for readers who enjoy memoirs with a strong sense of place, cultural exploration, and heartfelt storytelling. Whole Wild World is a testament to the enduring power of family and the universal quest to find one's place in the world.
