Publisher's Summary
The stunning and heartbreaking story of the young son of Rachel Nickell - who witnessed the brutal attack on his mother and whose childhood was shaped by the media storm that followed. A coming-of-age story that begins with a tragedy but ends in optimism, forgiveness and peace.
On a beautiful July morning in 1992, just three weeks before his third birthday, Alex Hanscombe and his young mother, Rachel Nickell, went walking on Wimbledon Common. Life was never the same again. Shortly after 10 o'clock that morning, Alex was discovered by the side of his mother's body - she had been assaulted, stabbed 49 times in a frenzied attack, and left dead. Alex was the only witness to the attack.
Letting Go is Alex's heartbreaking account of that morning, the aftermath, and the devastating effect on his father, the extended family and the wider community. Alex tells the story of the resulting media storm, the legal cases following and the peace and understanding that he has now found as a young man. In telling his story and the truth, this is the last stage of Alex's incredible journey to letting go.
