“Love is just a word...
until someone comes along
and gives it meaning.”
Steven Murphy spent his formative years in Sydney’s Redfern.
Abandoned by his mother when only weeks old, his father left him in the care of a cruel, alcoholic stepmother while he himself was in jail. Unbelievably, the child they dubbed the “Pyjama Boy” fought his way through life to achieve his ultimate goal. His story is a poignant and haunting one that captivates its reader from the very beginning and remains long after the book has been closed.

Did you know emotional abuse and neglect are linked with structural changes in the brain of a child?
Over 22% of adults have experienced childhood abuse before the age of 15 according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. The Pyjama Boy is a story, my story, of a child who was able to achieve their dreams against incredible odds
I want to inspire my readers to pursue their goals and dreams, no matter the circumstances. Life doesn’t hand out guarantees or perfect conditions— it hands out choices. And it’s the choices you make, that shape your future.
I hope readers find the inspiration to make positive changes in their own lives through my story. I want to show that if you’re serious about changing your circumstances, you can. You can break the status quo. You can break the cycle.
All it takes is belief—belief in yourself and in your ability to rise above.
About the author
Steven Murphy
“Time is your greatest asset.
Don’t waste it waiting for someone else to change your life.”
I’ve never thought of myself as special-just someone who has lived through life’s challenges like everyone else. But over time, I’ve come to see that by sharing my journey, with all its imperfections, I might offer something meaningful to others. Life moves so quickly, and the choices we make shape everything. My hope is that by being honest about my experiences, others might find encouragement or even a little clarity for their own paths.
