About
A young boy.
A single mistake.
Many lives changed forever.
Gerard’s twelve. He’s a bright kid, but he doesn’t always make good decisions. And one spring morning, he makes a really bad one — one that will upend his life — and crash into the worlds of two women caught in the chaos. For Margaret, the shocking incident brings her back from the edge of grief; for Claire it’s the start of a new friendship that she desperately needs to propel her forward.
Heartbreaking, and yet brimful of humour, compassion and hope, This Bright Life is a story about messy lives, second chances and the many hands it takes to build a boy.
Karen will read from her book, answer questions and sign copies.
