A young boy"s compelling search for his identity Jerome has the love, support and friendship of his half-brother, Gary, his girlfriend and his friends and teachers at school. But on the death of his father he feels completely alone, unable to acknowledge his grief. As he slowly adapts to the numb reality of everyday life without his father, one thing becomes clear - he must find his mother, who abandoned him as a child. Gavin Corbett writes with insight, warmth and beguiling humour of a young man"s compelling search for his identity and a true sense of belonging once again.
