Publisher's Summary

Vernon and Penelope never want to see their son Caleb again. Not after he bashed his wife and ended up in gaol. A lifetime of careful parental love wiped out in a moment. 

But when Vernon, a retired teacher, hears that Caleb is being regularly visited and savagely beaten by a local criminal as the police stand by, he knows he has to act. What has his life as a father been if he turns his back on his son in his hour of desperate need? 

He realises with shame that he has grievously failed Caleb. No longer.

Harrowing characters and storyline!

I love how intricate and complicated these characters are. Their lives are tough, which has hardened them, but the author balances this out to ensure they are relatable and we root for them to succeed. Enthralling from start to finish!
