Description
Decca Aitkenhead's life was forever changed on a hot still morning on a beautiful beach in Jamaica. Her four-year-old boy was paddling peacefully at the water's edge when a wave pulled him out to sea. Her partner, Tony, swam out and saved their son's life - then drowned before her eyes. Their unlikely romance had begun a decade earlier, when Decca, a renowned journalist, met Tony, a man with a troubled past. Despite the odds, they fell deeply in love, but their happiness was short-lived. The sudden loss of Tony left Decca reeling, forcing her to confront the complexities of their relationship and the societal forces that had brought them together. This powerful and poignant memoir explores the intersection of love, loss, and redemption, as Decca grapples with the consequences of Tony's tragic death.
