ABOUT
THE BOOK

In the aftermath of a great storm, Cora sets out to register the birth of her son. Seven years later, her son is Bear, named by his sister, one that will prove as cataclysmic as the storm from which it emerged. Or he is Julian, the name his mother set her heart on, believing it would enable him to become his own person. Or he is Gordon, named after his father and raised in his cruel image – but is there still a chance to break the mould?

Powerfully moving, full of hope, this is the story of the power of a single decision and three versions of a life.
