Great read, thanks.    

A delightful, yet raw, story of the journey of a young man, Corbin, who is a main victim of the abuse of the man he believed to be his father, his relationship with a girl who has been his girlfriend for two years, a delightful and quirky sister, Zoe, a mother who dares to finally stand up to her abusive husband, a young transplanted American and his amazing father who both assist this family to rid themselves of the toxicity.  It is very well written with great insight and understanding of the characters.

This is the story of Corbin, drifting through life with Leah, his overbearing girlfriend.

His parents decide to uproot him from everything he has ever known when they decide to buy a trawling business in Castlebay Down.

Once there things start to get interesting for Corbin, he has a bully for a father, an overbearing girlfriend and he realises he's missing some part of his life, which he appears to find when he meets Troy.

His one saviour is his little sis, who seems to understand him and help provide sanity to his complicated life.

As with most of James stories this is written with great perspective and style, so give your yourself a treat and read this thoroughly entertaining story.
