Book Synopsis
The brand new dramatic novel about the power of a father's love, a little boy's journey, and the desperate search for a place to call home, from Number 1 best-selling author Josephine Cox.
Eight-year-old Casey's mother Ruth is a cruel woman, with a weakness for other women's husbands.
Casey's father is gentle and hard-working and, though Tom Denton has long suspected his wife of having sordid affairs, he has chosen to turn a blind eye to keep the peace. But then, out of the blue, Tom's world is cruelly shattered when he receives two bits of devastating news. Because of this, Tom realises that from now on their lives must change, forever.
Tom is made to fight for his son, determined to keep him safe. But, when fate takes a hand, life can be unbearably cruel, and Casey is made to remember his father's prophetic words...
'It's done. The dice is thrown, and nobody wins.'
But, unbeknown to Casey, there are three letters penned by his father, that may just change his destiny forever.

About the Author
Josephine Cox was born in Blackburn, one of ten children. At the age of sixteen, Josephine met and married her husband Ken, and had two sons. When the boys started school, she decided to go to college and eventually gained a place at Cambridge University. She was unable to take this up as it would have meant living away from home, but she went into teaching - and started to write her first full-length novel. She won the 'Superwoman of Great Britain' Award, for which her family had secretly entered her, at the same time as her novel was accepted for publication.
