Alison's a practical sort: down to earth, a keen cyclist and steady student, she thinks clearly under pressure. Until a guy she vaguely knows turns up in her back yard – looking for shelter.

Despite her own suspicions that what she's doing is wrong, she helps Garry hide the traces of what's happened to him – and what he's done. Complex enough, right? Only then they fall in love. When the authorities – police, social workers, courts, counsellors – and family get involved, the barriers set up between Alison and Garry seem impassable.

Can their relationship survive distance and disapproval? A frank, clear-eyed story about making your own decisions, and learning the full dimensions of your heart.
