Description: For years, James Edward Phillips kept his wife and children in the dark ... On the few occasions when he made some references to his early life, he spoke as though he emerged into history at the age of six when someone in London had packed his belongings in a little wooden box and put him on a train to Bristol. When he dies, his daughter Louie discovers that she didn't know him at all. Suddenly there are people claiming to be relatives - people Louie and her sister have never heard of, people who knew their father very well indeed. What was her father's secret? Why would anyone have hidden a whole other life, decade after decade?
