Description
This book is a deeply personal account of a tragedy that shook a family and a nation. In April 1993, a young man was brutally murdered on a street in south-east London, and the case that followed was marked by a series of mistakes and mishandlings that left his mother feeling frustrated and helpless.
The author recounts her childhood, her struggles to build a better life for herself and her children, and her hopes for her son's future. She also describes the pain and confusion she felt as she watched the investigation into her son's murder unfold, and the long and difficult road to justice that followed.
Twenty years after the murder, a breakthrough in the case led to a guilty verdict in 2012, bringing some measure of closure to the family. This book is a powerful and moving account of one family's experience, and a testament to the enduring power of love and resilience in the face of tragedy.
