AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Between a mother and son there may be a very thin line connecting lies and silence. In the silver city, life for Josh Sim is study, football, and family. But in this world, the things which matter most seem to matter least, and the truth is a weapon wielded without emotion. On the streets of the city, Josh will find his own power. And reach through the silences. This moving and tender novel by Celeste Walters will take you into a world where, even in the darkest times, hope still finds a light...' (Publication summary)
