Description
What if the only way to save your mother is to leave her? Ten-year-old Grace knows that her mum loves her, but her mum loves drugs too. There's only so long Grace can fend off the woman from the county who is threatening to put her into care. Her only hope is Billy. Grown-man Billy Shine hasn't been out of his apartment for years. People scare him, and the outside world scares him even more. Day in, day out, he lives a perfectly orchestrated, silent life within his four walls — until now. Grace bursts into Billy's life with a loud voice and a brave plan to get her mum clean. It won't be easy, because they will have to confiscate the one thing her mum holds most dear... they will have to kidnap Grace.
A beautiful, uplifting and enthralling novel about a community brought together by a young girl. Perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult, Susan Lewis, Mitch Albom and Alice Sebold.
