About this book

One year after the suicide of their teenage son Joel, Debora and Michael Shaun-Hastings sit down to dinner with their son's bully and his parents. Closure is on the menu, but accusations are the main course as everyone takes a turn in the hot seat for their real or imagined part in the tragedy. Blame shifts over the course of the evening from one person to the next, raising questions no one is prepared to answer.
