Description

A story of fear, betrayal and love that survives the cruellest
separation, a mother from her child. A family saga set mainly in North
East England with a pop diva as the central character.
The talented
musical family lives with two secrets. The first threatens the lives of
each of them and the second is the knowledge they gave away a child. He
becomes a world-renowned, musical maestro, unaware that his talent isn’t
the only gift he may have inherited, it’s a fifty-fifty chance that he
could have Huntington’s Disease.

Publisher Review

"A rare and beautifully written family saga in which a secret legacy haunts each generation." Barry Walsh, author: The Pimlico Kid and Danny Boy "Powerful and heartbreaking." Sue Clark, author: Note to a Boy and A Novel Solution "This book, without being sensational, captures many of the issues families face as well as the secrecy that can shroud the illness." Cath Stanley, Chief Executive, The Huntington's Disease Association
