Letting Go

Just before Christmas, Meg and Alan Barratt celebrate both the season and their eighteenth wedding anniversary, surrounded by friends and family. Within two days, that family is shattered by a shocking revelation which undermines everything Meg previously believed to be unbreakable - the bond of love and deep friendship she had always taken for granted in those closest to her. As both her husband and their volatile seventeen-year-old daughter, Emma, leave home, Meg begins the painful process of picking up the pieces for herself and their twelve-year-old son, Ben, whose partial deafness has made him the butt of bullying at school.
