The Long Shadow of the Child

By Oliver James Cook

When his mother dies, Casey Baldwin finds himself thrust back into a world of frustration and anger that he had tried so hard to forget and leave in his past, but the past often has a determined way of reasserting itself. Once back home in Saint Petersburg for his mother's funeral, Casey soon finds himself following a trail of clues that slowly unravels the years of secrets his mother had given up so much to protect. Can Casey discover the truth of his childhood? Had he been kidnapped? Why exactly had his father died? And can he handle the unwanted responsibilities of fatherhood he has only just been told he will soon be given. In this story we learn just how far a parent is willing to go to protect their child and just how much they are willing to sacrifice. Secrets can protect but they can also shatter those we wish so desperately to protect. Follow Casey as he travels through his families past in this striking tale of love and loss.
