This superbly written novel held me spellbound as the suspense built in an intensely escalating emotional battle of wills between the main character, thirteen year old Petie, his fragile mother and his overbearing granddad. The characters are richly portrayed and intricately woven together to tell a story that had an end so explosive it left me breathless. Trisha - review Amazon.com USA.
