When Nick returned from a job interview and announced that he was leaving home, his family was shattered. His wife, Ria, after screaming and shouting for some time, gave up her job, tarted herself up and went looking for another man. His elder daughter, Cat, lost interest in trying to pass her exams and fell in with a very dubious crowd. His younger daughter, Tara, was devastated. She adored her father and couldn't deal with the battleground her home had become. And Nick? Nick was in love - utterly, irrevocably - with the girl he had met when he went for the interview. They were blissfully happy - until something unspeakable happened!This is the second book I've read by Terry Tyler. I was hooked after the first one. Every so often you come across an author who has got everything right. Beautiful, accurate writing; wonderful, living characters - people you really care about; and a plot that holds you to the very end.I won't tell you what happens in this book because I don't want to spoil it for you, but it made me cry. It made me cry in the dentist's waiting room, actually. I could neither stop crying, nor put the book down, so I carried on, wiping my eyes with a tissue. I can't remember the last time a book made me feel like that. Probably Kate Atkinson's Case Histories.  I have kept that book and read it over and over. I shall do the same with this one.Please keep writing, Terry. I have to feed my habit.
