The Long Shadow Of The Child

He would have been more than happy to never hear her name again, but apparently Casey could not escape from his damn mother, no matter how hard he tried. But this time it was different, this time she wasn't offering half-assed apologies, or simply pretending the past two decades hadn't happened. This time, when he heard her name, it was his girlfriend Gemma, exclaiming with tear filled eyes "Maureen is dead". Casey told himself he didn't care, but he knew it was a lie. Now he would never know what had happened. Was he kidnapped? Why had his father died? What was the secret she had given up so much to protect? And why had it been so much more important than him? Maureen's death would turn Casey's life upside down, and lead him on a journey through his past that he could never have imagined. As the secrets of his childhood emerge from the unassailable depths of his mother's living crypt, Casey nearly loses himself to the astonishing breadth of her deception. But sometimes we find ourselves in the mistakes of others. Will Casey discover a path to forgiveness? A path forward with his life with Gemma? A path to the life of which he'd always dreamt?
