Summary
Jim has lost everyone and everything he ever loved – his daughter, his mother, his wife. On the streets with nothing and nobody. They’ve not spoken to him in over 20 years, due to a horrific and violent act. He drifts through the world, accepting and forgetting the past, but today, the past comes to say hello.
What happened to leave him isolated and alone? As a young man he had a caring wife, beautiful daughter and loving mother. But the shadow of his father’s influence will haunt and shape his life. Can you run from what was in your blood all along?
One man. Two lives. The past and the present. Secrets and lies. Nature versus nurture.
